Diesel fuel vs petrol fuel in terms of energy density:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel fuel typically has a higher energy density compared to petrol. This means that diesel fuel contains more energy per liter or per gallon than petrol. As a result, diesel engines can extract more energy from each unit of fuel compared to petrol engines, leading to better fuel efficiency and longer driving ranges for diesel vehicles.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol has a lower energy density compared to diesel fuel. While petrol is still an efficient fuel for internal combustion engines, it generally contains less energy per liter or per gallon compared to diesel fuel. This difference in energy density contributes to the differences in fuel efficiency and driving range between petrol and diesel vehicles.
