Many people have their personal preferences but what are the facts? Diesel and Gasoline have been rivals for a long time and lots of different opinions have floated around about what is better to get or in what situation it is best. From emissions to fuel economy, below will list some of things to consider when you are making the decision to switch the type of fuel you are using.
Gas Mileage
So let's create a "Wicked" story for diesels. The Wicked Witch will obviously be played by the diesel. And the Good Witch will be gasoline based vehicles. If you are unfamiliar with "Wicked" here's a quick overview. Everyone hates the Wicked Witch because she is green and ugly and doesn't have a great sense of fashion or social skills. She also happens to be very powerful.
On average, is about 33% more efficient than it's contender and that makes a big difference. The higher efficiency is partly because of the increased torque that comes with a diesel engine. This extra amount of torque equals better acceleration and better fuel economy.
The money
The smoke that comes from all of this is harmful to everyone in the city. One in 10 deaths in Ulaanbaatar can be traced back to air pollution in the city. Having these large amounts of air pollution this dense really has ill effects on everyone in the city.
The purr of your car
Sumgayit in the world is known for having terrible pollution. During the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan was used to make tons of pesticides and chemicals. All of this production was good business but is now harming the citizens of Sumgayit.
The environment
If you want to go green, more times than not, gasoline will be your better option. Diesel fuel is a much dirtier fuel than gasoline. Consequently, they burn a lot dirtier and release more emissions. If you have ever seen a diesel truck accelerating quickly, then you have probably seen all the black smoke that comes from the truck. You probably were able to visually see why diesel fuel is dirtier than gasoline.
The biggest dump isn't believed to be on land anymore. It's actually believed to be in the ocean. Lots of litter eventually makes itself into the ocean. It can be dumped off on a river trip and eventually make its way to the ocean.
Garbage such as plastics doesn't biodegrade and therefore they simply float around in the ocean. The small plastics can accumulate and leave large areas covered in the plastics and litter from humans. These "islands" that are created from all of this waste can be very harmful for many sea creatures in the ocean.

About the Author:
At the time the California Air Resource Board's diesel emissions regulations first came out, Michael Schwartz, now President of FleetServ, started getting calls from panicked Fleet Managers looking for straight-forward information and compliance assistance. While FleetServ (formerly known as ACT Compliance) was originally formed to meet this need, over time it has evolved into much more.
