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.
Diesel has 127,500 btu/gallon, gasoline has 112,000 btu/gallon, Ethanol has 80,000 btu/gallon, this equates to E10 108,000 btu/gallon, E85 81,700 btu/gallon. BTU = British Thermal unit it is a measure of energy. Therefore adding ethanol to gasoline will reduce mileage.
