Myth #5: Diesel fuel is more expensive than gasoline.

Here in Southern California, diesel is 35 to 40 cents higher...so no "myth" around these parts.

Price per gallon is not price per mile. Do the math..............

“Here in Southern California, diesel is 35 to 40 cents higher...so no “myth” around these parts.”

Diesel at 35 to 40 cents more is about 10% more expensive. However, you get between a 25% to 35% mileage increase over a comparable gas engine because diesel contains more energy per gallon.

So, it’s still a net savings - and your engine will likely last far longer to boot. Not to mention that there’s no ethanol in diesel. ;-)

I’m planning on going diesel for my next vehicle.
