Diesel fuel typically costs more per gallon than gasoline, but it also has a higher energy density, so you can travel more miles per gallon. On average, a gallon of diesel fuel costs around $4, and a vehicle with an average fuel economy of 30 mpg will travel approximately 120 miles on one gallon of fuel.
Therefore, the cost of diesel fuel per mile is approximately $4 / 120 miles = $0.0333 per mile.
