diesel is now more expensive than unleaded as the oild comanies are ripping us off diesel is a by-product of refining gasoline now with the demand for disel with more smaller vehicles having diesel engines the oil companies are just cashing in and making the big bucks at the common mans expense.
cost of refining the crude oil ofcourse... In the UK diesel is more expensive than normal unleaded petrol.
The benefits of having a Jeep that uses diesel fuel are that diesel gets higher fuel economy than unleaded or plus gasoline, and it also enables one to have more miles per gallon.
Diesel is a lower grade of fuel than say, 95 octane unleaded, hence it creates more pollution.
diesel is more expensive

Serious engine damage. There will be a big problem... Unleaded gasoline does not have the lubrication properties of diesel fuel and has ignition properties much more violent than diesel fuel.Your only solution is to have your tank and fuel lines drained and hope for the best. If you did not drive the vehicle you will be fine. If you did drive it and depending on how much unleaded you put in the tank, you may have serious problems.For more information please see the answer to the Related Question shown below.
leaded fuel is economic compared to unleaded because more distance is covered with leaded than unleaded
Because the fuel companys are a bunch of oportunistic crooks. the same rule aplys to diesel fuel.
Diesel gas gives more mileage (miles per gallon) than regular gasoline. You must, of course, have a vehicle that has a diesel engine because diesel fuel cannot be used in an engine that runs on regular gas! Depending on local government taxation policies, in some countries diesel is cheaper to buy than regular gas whilst in other countries it is more expensive! Diesel fuel is thicker and "stickier" than regular gas so, if a vehicle's fuel system ever needs cleaning - fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel pumps and fuel injectors - it is a more difficult and expensive job to do on a diesel vehicle.
Because of a diesel engines high compression ratio, it will always be more efficient than an equivalent gasoline engine. However, this higher compression ratio requires a heavier, more expensive engine which isn't able to reach as high an RPM as a gasoline engine. It is for these reasons that despite their higher efficiencies, diesel engines are less popular than their lighter, less expensive gasoline equivalents. Diesel cars will provide you with a higher MPG rating compared to a similar gasoline powered engine. The price for diesel fuel is generally higher than the cost of unleaded gasoline.
Diesel generators are more energy efficient, they are more durable and require less maintenance, have a longer life span, and while the cost for diesel is generally higher than gas it costs less to operate a diesel generator because of the fuel efficiency. Just like diesel cars versus gas cars, diesel will last longer. Diesel fuel is a cheaper longer lasting alternative to regualr unleaded gasoline.
