The fuel consumption difference is a neat little factor at play here, that V8 just about redlining up the hill with the diesel just chugging along. For this type of track I’d go with the diesel, for top end performance and sand & gravel I’d pick the petty for fun points 😂
@@micstar-3213 A characteristic of diesel engines is that they 'chug along' nicely at low rpms with lots of torque compared to most petrol engines. Making them better on a lot of impractical 4x4ing tracks. It's just a simple expression mate, only a drugged up spastic would follow my comment up with that 😂
Diesels can just use their torque whilst petrol needs to use momentum to do the same job. But if the track is very bumpy like here and difficult to manoeuvre in, then momentum will be halted so diesel is better.
A decent horsepower petrol will still have good torque & will crawl a hill as good as a diesel. I have a Patrol 6cyl TDI Ute & a Lexus 4.7 V8 petrol wagon & much prefer the petrol for overall performance. The diesel actually uses about the same amount of fuel as the petrol, if not more. Personal choice I guess. 👍🏼😊
@@kenworth159it doesnt. The whole fkn point with diesels is to create more torque at lower RPM’s Thats like saying a petrol and diesel engine Will use the same amount of fuel over a Long distance. Just isnt true. Lower Rpm means less fuel being ignited. I have literally driven both a diesel and a petrol version of the same excact car and the difference is immense. You need a lot more horsepower and therefore more fuel in a petrol car. Like the fiestas I tried myself were of the same HP output and yet one had way more torque than the other without more horsepowers
@@magnipettersson4432There are a lot of other factors at play in your hypothetical situation. Car weight, tyre size/type, gearing etc. For instance, my 1kz Prado used far more fuel than my 2uz Landcruiser, and was a lot slower.
@@magnipettersson4432 I literally have both the vehicles mentioned sitting in my backyard. I drive them both on random trips & I can tell you they both use around the same amount of fuel on the highway. Offroad the diesel will use less for sure as it will work at lower revs where the petrol V8 will be at higher revs to maintain torque. You said it yourself, diesels have more torque at lower revs. I’m not disagreeing with you, I’m just saying that petrols have decent torque as well. My diesel has been tuned on the dyno & runs at peak performance so the fuel consumption is the best it will get.
@kenworth159 feel like this guy made the comment without even watching the video, you can see the petrol rolls in slowly then just takes off up the hill, being able to use its rpm while the diesel has to carry a ton of speed in and is bucking around the so called low end torque is a fallacy it's not useful unless towing on blacktop or in full traction low speed situations, full traction low speed happens close to never when off-road
I'll tell you what's better knowing how to drive in different terrains. Knowing when to let eric out of your tire and put air back in it, knowing to have the proper tire tread for the terrain you're trying to conquer
Having a high hp petrol v8 for off-road is all good until you snap an axle. I had an old short wheel based patrol with a 427 in it & used to snap axles constantly it was fun for a bit but it gets old real quick when you're constantly having to do repairs while everyone else isn't.
Yeah you need to have well dialled in suspension and make sure bushes are mint or you’ll start bouncing and become prone to snapping axles. Same in the diesels, but the petrols will generally be doing these activities with higher wheelspeeds
There used to be a bright yellow 80's shorty with a 383 that was a regular at Calder Park in the early 2000's... The guy used to drive it there, run 9's all night and drive it home... Was pretty cool seeing it launch that hard it almost scrapped the bumper every pass
@@troythomas9505you must be so dumb😂 pets burn faster than diesel mate and diesel vehicles last longer!💪🏽 do yourself a favour and invest in a diesel 4x4! Trust a mechanic who has over 30 years experience!
Diesel is a lot better for such vehicles! Firstly - you have more torg - probably 25% for the same displacement.. Secondly - the consumption is definitely around 30% less!
For this use diesel is better, for racing on a flat road petrol destroys diesel. It’s all about the usage, and diesels have way more torque than petrol.
Nothing to do with fuel type but petrol had open front diff and diesel had LSD or locked front. A good driver will be able to get further with less rpms and sudden shock loads to drivetrain. That petrol is way more likely to snap an axle or cv
For comparison sake, petrol/gasoline will make more horsepower on average but! A diesel hence thanks to its design will make more torque and when it comes to anything physical as in offroading, hauling, or towing? You need torque not power. Power is good but if you can't pull with it you'll spin your wheels out and that's it. You need that force to pull/push in the end plus fuel economy, diesels are way more fuel efficient
As I put my bluetooth headphones on, my eardrums are blessed with the tickling sensation after hearing that v6/diesel version of the Nissan Patrol Thanks Guys🫨😏🤤
Go check out my other awesome content and drop a sub!
Petrol definitely sounds better. lol
Tires, 4wd system, weight, balance, wheel base and width are all more relevant questions than fuel type.
Don’t forget ground clearance
But the question isn't. What drivetrain is better. Its what fuel is better
But the course doesn't test the parameters.. @@bodandron5255
Unless down hill engine braking driving.
Dont forget
The driver experience
Turbocharged inline diesels are the best engines ever made. They last forevery and make all the power you want. But nothing sounds like a gas v8
The fuel consumption difference is a neat little factor at play here, that V8 just about redlining up the hill with the diesel just chugging along. For this type of track I’d go with the diesel, for top end performance and sand & gravel I’d pick the petty for fun points 😂

The big thing with diesels off road is the low down torque too
@@bathurstsw20 V8s also are great for low down torque
@@micstar-3213 he just about blew the engine
They both sound wicked

the pet's unlocked but definitely looks more fun
Yeah and it had a rough diff in it at the time to she goes well
actually diesel is good for off road
why
Stupid comment
Higher torque
Torque and better swimmers 😊
Wheelspeed > Torque
I'll tell you what's better knowing how to drive in different terrains. Knowing when to let eric out of your tire and put air back in it, knowing to have the proper tire tread for the terrain you're trying to conquer
Well said, it’s all about skill & knowhow. 😊
DIESEL POWER 💪
Almost all 4x4 diesel got runway engine and it fail 😂
True true
DISEL POWER
HELL YEA 💪💪💪
@@wellplayedwho9491 because bigger energy
If you trying to kill all the mosquitoes in the forest then you go with diesel
A decent mapped diesel to. Make sure we can breath tomorrow also black smoke is a loss of power and fuel
Looks like some CREB track action there. ❤
I was thinking the same thing. That lovely red clay is insane when wet. 😮😊
Decently modified TB48 all the way. So Petrol PATROL 🙂
td42 is way better 😂
How butt hurt are the diesel drivers getting. Petrol has way more power every day of the week.
Td42 for life
Loved the extra cab petrol
Petrol power.
Wheelspeed > torque always.
There’s a reason why competition 4x4’s don’t use diesel very often…
of corse diesel,had lot more tork than a petrol! definitly diesel!💪🏻 but petrol had more sound that i like more!

All the bigfoots have been scared away!
All that matters is the driver
Well petrol sounds better. All else subjective.
Nah, nothing beats the whistle of a turbo diesel
nah for offroad diesel sounds better
That LS sounds mean as fuck
You gotta turn those front wheels back-and-forth to get better traction
Diesel
👇
Id go for diesel because they look tuffer and are better on fuel
Petrol is better more strong and fuel gadge doesn't go down as much diesel uses a lot of fuel
@@troythomas9505petrol cars get lower mpg because they rev more and burn more fuel
@@troythomas9505 petrol would go down much quicker as is you get way less km/L, like nearly half depending on the car
@@troythomas9505you must be so dumb😂 pets burn faster than diesel mate and diesel vehicles last longer!💪🏽 do yourself a favour and invest in a diesel 4x4! Trust a mechanic who has over 30 years experience!
And is also more reliable because of lower rpm
The sound ❤❤❤
Petrol = recreational
Diesel = workman
Diesel
Diesel 💯%
This looks like amazing fun...
Diesel is always perfect
V8 turbo diesel patrol
This is literally my dad's habit goin out with his friends
Torque wins every time
Diesel all the way
Diesel might be expensive but it’s worth it, plus diesel doesn’t blowup/explode. That’s why it’s good for boats,
What's better is Landscape video 🤣
haha made for reels which is for the phone mate! I have a full video on this via the channel
Diesel has more torque but now that it matters all that much in mud😅
Wheelspeed > Torque.
Look up the 4age Hilux in NZ. Regularly embarrasses the hardiest of diesel trucks on very tough tracks.
@@izzy031096 yeah i know, i just said "not that it matters all that much in mud"
Petrol is all Rev and speed. Diesel is all torque.
Definitely some weight discrepancies between the 2.
I think tires and depending which type of 4wheel drive you have play a big factor
V8 sounds hot
Diesel if there is no emissions stuff. Otherwise petrol.😁
Diesel. Always. More torque at lower rpm.
Diesel simply because of the smoke trail.
Petrol POWER 💪
Petrol
To me diesel is better
Petrol is all good until you get to a river crossing where the engine gets submerged. Then a diesel is far superior
V8 petrol PATROL GU💪💪💪
Both of them are good. Petrol sounds like monster truck and diesel sound like turbocharger lol
Diesel any day, every day...
Aussies know diesel is better on these tracks. Petty for high speed desert or beach driving.
They sound like beasts
They were not given the same power and torque. Petrol has a V8 engine while diesel has a V6 engine. So I prefer a diesel engine
The answer is always diesel and the it doesnt matter why.
Petro, sounded nice
I would have a v8 patrol built tuff and a diesel would be the the go every where 4wd
Grew up on a petrol Holden rodeo so have to go with the petrol on this one
Diesels are better because there peak torque almost near idle
Diesel is Best 👌 💪
Although deseil is better for the application. Gas is much more fun
Diesel anytime...
Go the petrol boi😂
Diesel is a lot better for such vehicles!
Firstly - you have more torg - probably 25% for the same displacement..

I still want a ZR2
The diesel sounds much better.

Boosted petrol for mud..... boosted diesel for crawling
Without a turbo petrol V8 wins
ill be moving in sydney by febuary nxtyear ,can give me some advice as a single lady movin in? tia 😉
One of the more stranger comments I have received
Dirty diesel for the win
Damn rhat first one sounds sick
You can gun it more with petrol and doesn't roll coal and sounds nice
I wanted a jeep before watching this vid. I still want one but am more aware.
Diesel engines are built different. One word savage ❤
Petrol has more rippems for fun but in This case he's running open diff, fix that and he wont have an issue with a hill like this.

you're acting like petrol engines don't have enough torque. also diesel isn't more fuel efficient
Diesel is a real smoker
We all know petrol rules !! Sounds much better too !!
PETROL DOESNT RULE SHIT
Diesel mate
Which one is the diesel?
All depends what your doing really petrol doesn't like river crossings but definitely more fun in the bush
Busso boys I know that patrol 😂
Of course Nissan patrol
V8 gas vs 4 in line diesel???
Diesel definitely both sick 4x4 tho
The type of engine isn't the limiting factor.
They need to chang the fliter in diesal car the it will be much more stronger
Pay to win either way
Teame diesel beucuse diesel is the first who gets in the line
The petrol is king if he had lockers
As I put my bluetooth headphones on, my eardrums are blessed with the tickling sensation after hearing that v6/diesel version of the Nissan Patrol
Thanks Guys🫨😏🤤
A diesel will do 3x the gas mileage in the jungle
Diesel rigs
If they both can do same, then petrol. I hate that tractor sounding noise on a nice car.
