Opting for the fuel-efficient diesel version of some cars or trucks
could save you a lot of money. Or not at all. Over 35 vehicles that are
available in gasoline and diesel form, the firm found just eleven
models for which the cost of ownership was lower compared to the
gasoline counterpart. 2,754 higher than their gasoline counterpart.
5,390鈥攑roved an insurmountable barrier toward long-term payoff in
some models. Meanwhile, gas prices are down, while pump prices for
diesel haven鈥檛 been falling at quite the same rate. As of this week,
U.S. 3.42 per gallon. And in general, higher refining and distribution
costs for U.S. 鈥檛 fall, proportionately, as much at the pump due to
the sustained low price of crude oil. But going with the diesel version
likely does pay off if you鈥檙e considering it on a luxury model. Of
all the vehicles for which Vincentric found diesel at an advantage, all
but one were German luxury-brand models. Mercedes-Benz in particular
ended up posting plenty of diesel deals because of a strategy that
makes its BlueTec diesel models the 鈥榚ntry鈥?models in several of its
vehiclelineups.

The steering in the all-new 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL three-row, seven-seat
SUV feels light to the touch and loose on-center. This shortcoming is
not attributable to any flaw in the electrically assisted
rack-and-pinion gear or lapse on the part of the engineers who fret
over chassis tuning. Instead, blame 50 clinic participants鈥擲outhern
Californians owning a current Mercedes ute or a competitive SUV鈥攚ho
drove GL prototypes and said that light and loose is how steering
should be. Shortly after it was introduced six years ago, the GL
mounted the throne in the luxury-SUV castle with a C/D comparison-test
win. It not only impressed us with room and comfort but also scored
high in the steering, handling, ride, and fun-to-drive categories. In
two-plus-ton trucks, such virtues are as rare as bud vases. Mercedes
resisted fiddling with the basic formula that made the original GL the
most popular large luxury SUV, even at the end of its six-year life
span.

Buyers who are in the market to acquire a new car lose sleep over the
dilemma of buying or leasing. Both options have plusses and minuses to
them. Affordability and flexibility the leasing gives you are generally
the biggest consideration when leasing a new vehicle. Before choosing
look at your job stability and the state of your personal finances;
this will help you understand what you can afford. Car leasing short
term can yield payments that are less than the monthly payments of
purchasing a car. Leasing a Car Lease on Specials are the best option
to saving on monthly payments. When getting a car on lease specials you
are only paying a portion of the total cost of the vehicle when you
lease instead of the entire amount. With a decent down payment you may
be better off purchasing the car and getting a good interest rate; this
is ideal if you plan on keeping your car for a longer amount of time.
