Fuel economy/greenhouse gases: no difference anymore between Diesel and Otto

Modern gasoline (Otto) engines are as efficient as Diesel engines. According to volkswagen.de, the current VW Golf with a 118 kW TSI (gasoline/Otto) engine gets 139 g/km CO₂ compared to 138 g/km CO₂ for the 103 kW TDI (Diesel) engine, both with DSG.

The according section of this article urgently needs an update, since it cites outdated sources from 2006–2008. --178.2.188.106 (talk) 21:30, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Price

Perhaps an average price of petrodiesel can be given ? In Europe price is about 1,4 euro and in USA about 0,6 euro/liter. The price of vegetable oil for example is about 0,6 euro in both territories. Link to vegetable oil economy.

BTW: reading the intro, this article deals around every fuel that can be used in Diesel engines. Thus, the name should be Diesel engine fuel. "Diesel fuel" however refers to petrodiesel. 91.182.37.177 (talk) 07:10, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
