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.
Oil companies report that mileage improvement is questionable, but, in general, engines that run on gasohol tend to foul less and to run cooler and cleaner. And, of course, in a time of dwindling oil imports and limited supplies, the fact that gasohol contains less oil than gasoline is certainly appealing.
