Diesel vs Gasoline “Exploration is the engine that drives innovation. Innovation drives economic growth. So let’s go exploring.” - Edith Widder. Exploring is just what engineers did with the diesel and gasoline engines. They have done wonders for the world and both want the same outcome; power, longevity, fuel economy and reliability,however, they are both different in their own way. The Gasoline and Diesel engine have differences and similarities that an average person might not know. These differences comes all the way from the first invention to the engine that runs in vehicles today. Diesel and Gasoline engines have differences and those differences can be for the better or for the worse. Fuel efficiency is a huge part in the world

Longevity is hard for company to do and still make money so therefore they have to build engines on poor parts and flaws. The key is to buy an engine that lasts long with the parts the company provided. This is where it would be a good idea to research the quality and longevity between a gas and a diesel vehicle. Jason Thompson explains this when he states, “The key to million-mile diesel engine longevity is clean and temperature-regulated fluids. That means you need to protect your engine 's intake air, coolant, fuel, and oil. Oftentimes, when diesel enthusiasts need to solve a problem like this, we look to our older brothers (the industrial industry) for guidance because they already know what it takes to go the distance.” (“Diesel Power”). Jason explains that all it takes for a diesel to maintain longevity is if you keep up on maintenance. Keeping a diesel temperature at proper level is extremely important due to the combustion in the cylinders. Gasoline engine longevity is explained in Motor Trend magazine when it states, “There 's the tidbit about diesel engines lasting far longer than gasoline engines. That 's cool, too; trouble-free 200,000-mile cars are common. Simplicity? No distributor or spark plugs (or expensive battery packs). And resale value? Heck, used diesel cars are in high demand, fetching premiums above Blue Book values.” (“Diesel Does it.”) This showing that gasoline engines are having a hard time competing with diesel engines due to the simplicity of the engine and the complexity of a gasoline motor. People want simple that lasts longer and performs better so therefore, diesels have the gasoline on
