Diesel Or Petrol?

Featured Replies

Hello everyone, i am new here and i would like some advice please.

In the near future i will be moving to Thailand and i need to buy a car (and a bike). My question is about economy, i will be travelling everyday to work and back and i need an economical car, but the choice is amazing.

Ideally i would like 50mpg as i don't want to spend all my wages on fuel.

Also a medium sized car would be nice as i feel quite vunerable in a Honda Jazz/Toyota Yaris.

What do you think?

Is there anything out there?

I have looked at the Hybrid's and have come to the conclusion that they are far to expensive.

Diesel would be great but i've been told they are mainly used in pick up's.

Oh yes and it must be an automatic.

Yours confused

Where will you be? If it's Bangkok, Chiang Mai or some fairly large Thai city, I'd think about picking up a small 2nd hand car & doing an LPG conversion. The kits are fairly widespread & cheap in Thailand, and in the cities LPG is widely available. As far as I know, that's the only option if you're really looking to get 50 mpg. I don't have specific information but if you search this forum you should be able to find out more. Good luck.
