Hello Motor-Talker, as read above, is interested in the comparison. I could not find an exact answer (counting 15km as a short distance?), so I hope for your help. My route profile is daily 15km work path, simple – of which 13km country road. Once or twice a month a distance of 800km is added. A bit I like with a (3l) diesel. But now the old question – you do the diesel, or yourself a favor with it, regarding the short distance and If the DPF automatically cleans up during the motorway journey when the exhaust line has reached the temperature, or if the DPF cleans up in “solid” cycles, if the DPF is “too”. Are there brand-specific differences here? My ideas are roughly speaking, a car with a German name A bit of patriotism is present – but I don’t care about BMW, Audi, Benz or VW in advance. Everyone has their respective advantages or disadvantages. I hope for your answers and I still wish you a 3rd Advent. MfG xDrive fan
