Yes, going to alternative sources of energy is only part of the equation
to solving our energy crises, and becoming independent of outside
sources for our energy needs. Diesel makes a lot of sense in conserving
energy, because diesel has about 20% more BTU of energy per gallon, than
the BTU energy in a gallon of gasoline, and with diesel and biodiesel
lower flash point, it can be used to produce a much greater compression
explosion in the cylinders of the engine, than gasoline, which make
diesel and biodiesel a much more efficient engine. These advantages of
diesel and biodiesel result in between 20% to 40% greater mpg in the
diesel auto, than its equivalent gasoline auto.
You can add to the above advantages, that a diesel engine will burn
about any fuel, so biodiesel, as an alternative fuel to petrol diesel,
looks very attractive. Of course, it will take a combination of
conservation measure, coupled with a combination of alternative energys,
to meet all our demands for energy. We can succeed, if we are willing
to work on balancing both the demand and the supply side of the equation.
