Would you get better mileage with a diesel engine verses gas engine?

Yes. Diesel engines generally have better fuel efficiency than gasoline engines. This is because diesel engines are more efficient at converting fuel into energy, and they also produce more torque at lower RPMs. As a result, diesel engines can achieve better fuel economy than gasoline engines, especially in city driving and other situations where frequent stops and starts are required.

Here is a table that compares the fuel efficiency of diesel and gasoline engines in various types of vehicles:

Vehicle type | Diesel fuel efficiency (MPG) | Gasoline fuel efficiency (MPG)

---|---|---

Compact car | 45-55 | 35-45

Mid-size car | 40-50 | 30-40

Full-size car | 35-45 | 25-35

SUV | 30-40 | 20-30

Pickup truck | 25-35 | 15-25

As you can see, diesel engines typically achieve 20-30% better fuel efficiency than gasoline engines. This can save you a significant amount of money on fuel costs over the lifetime of your vehicle.
