Gasoline cars are bought and then equipped with gas systems because it is currently the cheapest fuel option
Motorists in our country are massively exchanging their luxury diesel cars for gasoline leftovers, writes “Telegraf”.
The new fashion is because of the expensive diesel. “At the moment we have a boom in offers to exchange completely overhauled diesel cars for gasoline vehicles,” said a car dealership in Sofia. According to second-hand car dealers, people are switching to gasoline engines because it’s cheaper for them to drive around town.
Gasoline cars are being bought en masse and then equipped with gas systems because it is currently the cheapest fuel option, car dealerships said. They specified that gasoline is now cheaper than diesel, but if you drive around town. For longer journeys, diesel is cheaper because the car spends less. “Nobody wants diesel anymore, most people use their cars to go to work, to shop, to pick up their child from school. And their diesel comes out very salty,” the car dealers added.
Among the offers at the moment there are more luxury cars, with new winter tires, even with paid stickers until the middle of next year. Diesel jeeps are widely available. Owners of such vehicles sell or trade them, but only for gasoline. They are ready to barter for an additional payment for a lower class car, as long as it is not a diesel.
Among the offerings is a 2010 diesel-powered luxury jeep. The owner gives it for BGN 14,999 or a petrol vehicle. The car has new tires, discs, linings, fuel pump, battery, as well as vignette until July 2023. Trade-in is also offered for BGN 7,500 a 2002 car without any defects. The owner is trying to replace it with a car that needs to run on petrol. Another offer is for a 2018 diesel pickup for BGN 23,500, with the owner looking to replace it with a cheaper gasoline car.
Currently, the difference between diesel and petrol is around 40 cents. The average mass of the A95 is on average 2.95, the price of diesel is 3.35 and the propane-butane is 1.14 BGN, according to analysis by fuelo. According to the latest data, gasoline is the cheapest in Panagyurishte and Botevgrad, where it is found at 2.58 BGN per liter and 2.60 BGN per liter.
