What do the EPA ratings on the car sticker tell you?
the epa sticker tells you the miles per gallon
How do you calculate fuel efficiency on diesel SUV?
Miles driven on a gallon of fuel. Reset your tripometer, fill your tank. Drive until its about a half tank and refill. Divide your miles driven by the gallons of fuel used. This will be your "Actual" highway/city/ or combined MPG. Advertised EPA ratings are completely inaccurate and are completely a sales gimic.
Why petrol cost is high and diesel cost is low?
That is not necessarily the case nowadays. Diesel fuel was much cheaper because there were far fewer cars with diesel engines. Since many more cars have diesel engines now the various governments increased the tax on diesel fuel to increase the revenue it receives. As did the fuel companies to to a far lesser extent. Diesel fuel is almost always higher than gasoline. Reason being is the EPA regulations a few years back regulated that diesel be made much cleaner that it was in the past. It costs more to refine this clean diesel. Have you noticed that you do not see black smoke bellowing from diesel trucks anymore.
Who issues official fuel efficiency ratings in the US?
The US Department of Energy issues fuel efficiency ratings. they have partnered with the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) to make a website that discusses fuel effiency http://www.fueleconomy.gov/
What is the Molecular weight of diesel fuel?
233 g/mole estimated average molecular weight. Diesel fuel, like other petroleum products, is not one specific chemical compound but a complex mixture of organic compounds separated into ranges by their boiling point. For this reason, diesel doesn't have a specific molecular weight. However, you can talk about an "average molecular weight" of the mixture. EPA lists an estimated average molecular weight for diesel of 233 g/mole. http://www.epa.gov/athens/learn2model/part-two/onsite/es.htm The actual average molecular weight of diesel will vary from sample to sample depending on what grade of diesel it is (i.e. #1 diesel is light diesel), feedstock of the diesel, and the refining process of the diesel.
What is the mpg on a 2015 gmc 2500hd gas and diesel engines?
They don't have EPA rating and most magazines only test with loads. All I've found is Gas combined mpg of 12, diesel gets 15mpg. Of the reviews I've read 1. a diesel got 18mpg highway 2. got a diesel combined average of 15.8mpg 3. 4x4 gas city/highway/combined - 12/16/12 4x4 diesel city/highway/combined - 16/18/17

Is diesel engine better?
It has advantages and disadvantages. Both are heat engines, and the diesel engine both puts out more BTUs and has a higher thermal efficiency rating - diesels are approaching the 50 percent margin, whereas gasoline/petrol engines are still in limbo in the low 20 percentile. Diesel engines are higher maintenance, though, and now, with Euro 5, EPA 2010, and other emissions regulations, they're required to run Diesel Exhaust Fluid in addition to the fuel they burn, which can add up in expense.
Can diesel exhaust systems lower exhaust gas temperatures?
Yes this is a very wise thing to do. The EPA has gotten very strict and has demanded manufacturers clean up their act and become more socially conscious, In that end most products have to be designed to emit as little exhaust as possible so getting the new diesel is a great idea.
