Are diesel engines better than gas engines is sort of a yes and no question. Diesel engines generally get better fuel mileage and last longer overall. But, gas engines are easier to maintain on your own and gasoline is much more readily available than diesel fuel is on the whole.
Diesel engines are generally more efficient than gas engines. A Diesel Pickup truck will normally get far more miles per gallon than a gas one and still have equal or greater power available. Plus diesel engines tend to last much longer than gas engines easily running well over 300k miles with little to no issue.
Diesel engines get better fuel economy because they do not need to burn as much fuel as a gas engine to get the same power. By design a supercharged engine will produce more power whether it be gasoline or diesel. A diesel engine has more torque at lower rpm than gas engines and therefore uses less fuel. The correct answer is YES.
Some cars have diesel engines because diesel engines give more mileage and diesel is cheaper than gasoline in some countries. In the UK diesel fuel costs more than gas but, because diesel engines give much better mileage (miles per gallon), people are still happy to pay more for the diesel fuel if they run diesel vehicles. Diesel engines last much longer and have much better torque at low revs than a petrol engine.
Diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline because chambers are different. A diesel engine has better gas mileage.
Engines with longer piston stroke, higher turbo boost pressures, and diesel fuel has more energy in it than gasoline.
Gas is better to use than diesel for trucks for offroading.
They dont, diesel engines are generally more reliable than gas engines, and alot simpler due to the fact that the entire ignition system found in gas-powered engines is deleted entirely from the diesel equation. (Diesel engines don't have spark plugs, they rely on compression to ignite the fuel, meaning: they sqeeze the diesel fuel so much that it explodes)
Actually diesel fuel has a slightly lower amount of energy per weight than gasoline (45.3 vs. 47.2 MJ/kg). Cylinder pressure is what gives diesel engines their power, that is why diesel engines parts are so much stronger/heavier than gas similar sized gas engines.
Mazda cars require gas for their engines, not diesel. They also have hybrid vehicles, which run on both electricity and gas, but not diesel.
Yes, diesel trucks generally get much better gas mileage than regular gas trucks. They even sometimes get better gas mileage than hybrid trucks.
No, diesel engines run with lower rpms and which also causes them to have lower tempuratures. diesel engines in semi trucks get up to 1,000,000 miles in them with just simple rebuilds. gas engines are a disiaster with over 150,000 miles.
