What diesel additives & excessive diesel maintenance?
Diesel costing more than gas is just a US thing because US government favored gas & hybrid in their taxation.
My 400K mile TDI has less required maintenance than even the G2 Prius that I traded in at 140K miles for this new F30dxD. Both my TDI and F30dxD avg better than the G2 Prius on my normal driving. The only time I got over 45MPG on the Prius was when I worked in Manhattan. 30 of the 45 minute ride was crawling through Lincoln tunnel.
This article is bogus. They compared 328d to 328i instead of a 320i, but compared a Jetta TDI to a Jetta S.
