It isn't
Petrol is far more comustile compared to Diesel
It obviously depends on the cars being compared but generally Diesel provides better gas mileage.
Diesel
Diesel Fords are superior to standard petrol Fords in that they are better economically - they travel farther on a single gallon of fuel. However, petrol Fords are generally much cheaper, and are better for those that live in the city or do minimal amounts of driving. This is because diesel fuel works optimally over drives that are 10 minutes or longer.
Each engine is rated better for different things. A petrol engine generally has a higher horsepower than a diesel engine, so acceleration and speed is often better on a petrol engine. Diesel engines tend to rate better with torque, so they are better at pulling heavy loads, which is why diesel engines are used in trucks and locomotives.
No, it is not better it is just another type fuel.
2.4 petrol is better than 2.2 TD in my opinion.. I just replaced my 2.3TD with a petrol.. 2.4 petrol is better than 2.2 TD in my opinion.. I just replaced my 2.2TD with a petrol..
petrol light brown, diesel light green
It will physically fit as many diesel engines share the same blocks, but the gear ratios will be unsuitable, due to the reduced effective rev range of a diesel compared to the petrol engine. In short, will probably fit, won't work

Diesel engines normally get better fuel economy than gasoline engines.
It's more a question of "different", than "better". Petrol engines can have better power-to-weight ratios, while diesels are a little more efficient.
