Here are a some 'pros' * You will normally get 20% - 30% more miles per gallon compared to a similar powered petrol engine. * The engine has to be built stronger, so it lasts longer. * The engine does not require an electrical ignition system, so less to maintain, and more reliable starting when damp. * Oh! ... modern diesel engines are beating petrol engines in the Le Mans 24 hour race, cool. There are 'cons' but you didn't ask for those!

Is petrol engine or diesel engine better?
AnswerIt's more a question of being different than one being outright better than the other. Diesels have the possibility to give better fuel efficiency, but tend to run rougher for instance. And for the same engine size/weight, a diesel will have a lower peak power output.So, what's the "better" engine will depend on the engineering requirements and you preference.AnswerA petrol engine runs on petrol and a diesel engine runs on diesel- this is the basic difference between the two. But yes, jokes apart there are many more differences too. In a vehicle having a similar mass a diesel engine is more efficient most of the times than a spark-ignited petrol engine which results in the diesel having a lower fuel consumption and a cost effective solution for the consumer.

Why is diesel gas better than regular gas?
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.

What cars run on virgin oil?
There's someone crushing virgins and extracting their oil?? I assume you mean Virgin *Olive Oil,* and no cars run on any bio-oil, but we do use oils to make bio-diesel. Any vehicle that normal runs on diesel can be made to run on bio-diesel, but seeing as there are very few diesel engine cars on the road as is, I'm finding that it's very hard to find a car that runs on bio-diesel. Mostly, it seems, buses are getting the conversion.

Is there any vehicle which can run on both petrol and diesel?
A vehical that runs on petrol and diesel is impossible as they are both ignited in different ways. For exaple petrol is ignited by the spark plugs and a diesel is ignited by the shear force of the compression from the pistons. A petrol engine has a round 9:1 compression ratio and a diesel has about 20:1 but these veary from engine to engine I hope that hasn't lost you
