It is a lunfarda voice, appearing in the 1970s. It is a way of life where goods are consumed, but always at the lowest possible cost, even if the quality is evidently lower. In many cases it is a way to maintain social status when you suffer an economic deterioration, but it is also usually a lifestyle of those who can still pay for a better service always choose the cheapest; but he doesn't deprive himself of it. The origin is in the word diesel, in its conception of diesel-powered car that uses diesel as fuel, which is cheaper than naphtha, but otherwise the vehicle looks the same. It is because when the income is no longer enough to maintain the car, the solution to not lose your own mobility is to exchange it for a dieseler. [Note: "nafta" or "gasoil" have other names outside Argentina . ]
