Up Which is better Disel engine car or petrol?

Its a very hot discussing topic from the years ago the both petrol and diesel engine made.
But as per to my concern the petrol engine is better for vehicle for construction point of view,but its too hard for the business purpose used car owner to use petrol engine coz petrol price is very high.
On the same time diesel is very low cost .Only for the cost factor the diesel is highly used everywhere.

sorry, but this is not easy reading. not sure i understand everything your trying to say. but let me try

diesel vs gas. yes it is a very debatable subject. they both have there pros and cons. it is more of an apple orange thing then apples to apples.

around where i live and work diesel is more prevalent in the construction industry. it is the only type of engine that can provide what is needed in the construction industry. generators, towing, backhoes, etc. gas engines would have to be larger and consume more gas then the diesels would to do the same job. the life span of a diesel is up to twice as long too.

with the cost of diesel being lower, in the US this was true several years ago but today it is generally higher. on the flip side diesel engines tend to get better MPGs. this usually offsets the higher cost.

if i didn't get it right, please let me know
