The average miles per gallon (MPG) for PACCAR diesel engines typically ranges from 6 to 8 MPG, depending on factors such as the specific engine model, load, and driving conditions. Advanced technologies, such as turbocharging and fuel injection systems, can help improve fuel efficiency. Additionally, newer models may offer better MPG due to enhancements in design and aerodynamics. For precise figures, it's best to consult specific vehicle specifications or manufacturer guidelines.
About 14mpg
The 6.0L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8 which was produced from 2003 to 2007, got a city MPG rating of 14 and a highway MPG rating of 19. The combined average MPG would be 16.5.
Back before MPG was important diesel was used because it was inexpensive. So the car engines were not designed to have good MPG, they were designed to run well and be as similar as possible to how a gas engine preformed. Now MPG is important, and since you can get much more power out of diesel, small diesel car engines are being designed to run more efficiently. This is also because there is more technology available to do so. This enters the clean diesel engine.
I'd say that an average mpg for BMW's is between 20 and 25 mpg. However, there are many BMW's that have higher mpg, namely the cars with smaller engines (4 cylinder instead of 6) and the diesel powered cars. There is also a BMW full electric car that is being developed and tested, as well as a 7 series BMW with an engine that can run on both gas and hydrogen.
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.
50 mpg for diesel
25-26mpg gasolene, 35-40 diesel
The most fuel efficient cars on the road are smaller cars with either hybrid (gas/electric) or diesel engines. Examples of such cars are the popular Toyota Prius(44/mpg) or the Volkswagen Jetta(34/mpg) diesel.
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
EPA estimations are 18 MPG in cities and 28 MPG for highways. However, you can pretty safely expect slightly lower values in reality, around 15 MPG in cities and 23 MPG on highways. The overall MPG is slightly lower than the average compared to other V8 engines.
The 1.4 liter engine does an average of 4.5 l/ 100 km or about 60 mpg
As of 07/22/2013, the average cost of diesel fuel in the U.S. is $3.682 per gallon. So, here are the costs for vehicles with various gas mileage travelling 233 miles: 05 mpg: $171.58 10 mpg: $85.79 15 mpg: $57.19 20 mpg: $42.90 25 mpg: $34.32 30 mpg: $28.60 35 mpg: $24.51 40 mpg: $21.45
