Diesel is just a combustable fuel like gasoline. If you fill up a 20 gal. tank, drive "x" amount of miles, you simply divide the miles by the amount of fuel. Diesel engines used to be inefficient, dirty, and hated by most. However, if one compared two of the

same vehicles gas vs. diesel: diesel typically wins! Europe uses thousands of cars that run on diesel and commute much more than the "avg. American".
