What’s the difference between diesel and gasoline?
In general, gasoline is more combustible and requires a spark to ignite, whereas diesel fuel has more energy density and a lower combustion level. Instead of a spark, diesel is ignited by compression, which is a more powerful combustion using less fuel. Drivers benefit from this through increased torque and better fuel economy. In addition, the price of diesel at the pump has lately dropped below gasoline, adding yet another reason why diesel is different – and better – than gasoline. So…less expensive, more fun and longer lasting. Watch Discovery Channel put clean diesel to the ultimate test: road trip to Las Vegas!
