But with a liter of diesel (usually) you can make more kms than with a liter of gasoline. I'm not sure the CO2/km of each class of motor, though
- samoa42 6y agoimho both effects stem mostly from the fact that diesel has ~11% higher density than gasoline. (ie. mileage and co2-output become more equal if measured against mass rather than volume)
