Article from the MBCA website
I joined the Mercedes Benz Club of America today in order to get the subscription of the Star Magazine, and was surfing the site, and came across this nice article on the Diesel engine:

Paul,
Thanks for the link. There is a mistake in the article, however. They attributed the additional fuel mileage of a diesel strictly to its efficiency. This is not entirely true. Although a diesel engine is more efficient than a gasoline engine, they are not pointing out that there is more energy to be derived from an equal volume of diesel fuel than is available in the same quantity of gasoline. I guess a politician or a network news person wrote the article, spinning the truth to fit their own desires. Have a great day,
