Diesel beats premium gas

Diesel engines aren’t too popular in the United States and except the biggest consumer grade pickup trucks most diesel engines offered in the US were pretty poor. Diesel was more expensive than gas and diesel engines had performances that couldn’t match the petrol versions but recently things changed and diesel started to win the battle with premium gas.

The most recent polls in the US show that the average gallon of diesel fuel costs just under that of premium gasoline: 218.6 pennies/gallon of diesel and 219.8/gallon of premium. These are good news for diesel car owners and since these cars have a lower fuel usage they will spend a lot less to get their tank full.
