Super Diesel Jumps Rs 50 to Rs 528 a Litre — Still Worth Buying That Diesel SUV?

From October 1, CEYPETCO raised Super Diesel by Rs 50 to Rs 528 a litre, the steepest hike of that revision, while regular Auto Diesel went up by just Rs 10 to Rs 392. Super Diesel is what most newer diesel SUVs and double-cabs are built to run on — Montero Sport, Fortuner, L200, D-Max, Hilux — so the people who bought these for towing, hill-country runs or big families are now paying a real premium every fill-up, with crude prices pushing global fuel costs up too. One side says diesel SUVs still make sense: more torque for loaded trips, better per-km economy than petrol even at Rs 528, and resale that holds up better than most hybrids here. The other side says the math has flipped — a hybrid Vezel or a petrol AWD now costs less to run and service, and Rs 528 isn't coming down any time soon. If you're running a Super Diesel vehicle, what's your real cost per km working out to this month, and would you still buy the same one today? ඔයාගේ ඩීසල් වාහනේ මේ මාසේ per km cost එක කීයක් වෙනවද?
