Thread: Petrol v diesel economy

I've got two RAV4, one diesel one gas, 2014 diesel in NZ and a 2015 gas in Canada, same spec vehicle.
average between 7.5-8L a 100km in the Diesel, down to 6l on the likes of the Canterbury Plaines.
8.5-9l on the gas, per 100km best i can get on the flat Pairire is 7.8 ish.
stop and go in town and traffic, the gas goes way up 13l or so, the diesel doesn't jump much. not seen it over 10l yet,
Travel in NZ is steeper and more turns, than were I am in Canada.
I recond its about 2.5 liters difference per hundred. given similar driving conditions, except round town,
the gas is more responsive, better round town,
I like the diesel more, as it holds speed much more readily on the open road,
regular 87 grade gas in Canada $1.89, diesel is $2.03 last few days.
Gas makes more sense here, and very few diesel SUV about,
