Diesel may cost more than regular gasoline (about $0.24 more per gallon, per AAAâs current figures) but itâs much richer in energy â between 25% and 30% richer. The new BMW 328d (d for diesel) gets better mileage than the gas-powered Smart fortwo coupe. And it produces 180 horsepower, compared to the Smartâs measly 70.
With cleaner diesel fuel and new engine technologies, today's diesel cars are actually about as quiet, smooth and clean as their gasoline counterparts. Combined with more off-the-line oomph (more low-end torque) and greater fuel efficiency (by about 30 percent), the case for diesel has never been stronger.
