When buying a vehicle, some people look at the type of fuel it uses and what the cost of the fuel is when they are buying it. Two of the most common fuels are Gasoline and Diesel. This isn't easy since the price at the gas stations keep changing and the way each are used and measured are different. Here are a few things to show some things you can consider.
Diesel fuel is denser than gasoline and contains about 11% more energy per volume. Both fuels relatively cost about the same diesel usually being a little bit more expensive. They cost the same to refine and extract. The increased cost of diesel can be overlooked since they are more efficient than gasoline engines in converting the energy in the fuel into power. They operate at higher pressures, with higher compression ratios. Diesel motors also create about 40% better fuel economy than a gasoline engine that are equal in power. Large trucks and agricultural vehicles mainly use a diesel powered implement.

All these parts help the gasoline engine run smoothly. There's additional parts that can be mounted to improve power. Some of the usual sensors people add are: mass airflow, exhaust oxygen, engine revolutions per minute, manifold absolute pressure, barometric pressure, coolant temp, throttle position, knock, vehicle speed, ac load, power steering, crankshaft position, and camshaft position.
Most of today's gasoline engines use a 4 stroke piston driven engine and is the most common. The performance of gasoline engines is easy to change. A change in horsepower or torque are the 2 easiest things. You cold even tune it for better fuel economy. Gasoline is easy to find and contains lots of energy. A 28 gallon fuel tank has an equal amount of energy as the monthly use of electricity used in the average American home. Just one gallon contains 33.7 kilowatts per/hr. of chemical
