Thanks for the enlightment. Actual industry data is better than handbook
stuff, any day.
 Your information tells me two things - one bad and one good.
 1) If diesel fuel has 30% more energy than gasoline on a volume basis, then
the 20% to 30% better fuel mileage of a diesel is not remarkable at all.
 2) I don't feel quite as bad about paying the current 50% premium for
diesel fuel over gasonline.
