Default What kind of car engine has a greater lifespan?




I am thinking of buying a car and I am confused as to the kind of engine I should s, settle for, a diesel engine or a gasoline engine? Others say that a diesel engine is better than a gasoline engine. However, a diesel engine accordingly has a shorter lifespan.
If this is so, is there a standard lifespan for car engines? I need to know about this since I am also considering of buying a used car, hence I have to reckon with the number of mileage. I can't find anything on the internet about engine lifespan.

I'm going to go for the gas engine and that's because Ive not met any one with diesel who has lasten as long as the gas engined people.
