Well you answered your own question there: "I know that diesel gets a little bit better mileage and and the engine lasts longer". Sounds like you have doubts this be the path of the future. Don't have those doubts. Yes the diesel fuel will succeed the dinosaur crude oil in every manner including costs at pump and can do so now instead of waiting. Only a few cents more per gallon saves engine and also...time. Long term investments such as this may be a bit difficult to add up now but they will sooner than you think.

The fact is THEY are screwing diesel drivers at the pumps. Diesel has always been 40 to 60 cents less per gallon at the pumps. Tune ups are simpler and no electrical parts(plugs, points, rotor, distributor, wires) is eliminated as part of the system. With the better fuel economy of gas, it is questionable whether it is worth it(especially in the winter).When the gas light comes on, how much gas is really in the tank of your car?
Yes it is, for many reasons. Diesel is burnt more efficiently- which is not only better for your wallet but also the environment. You should look at it as dollars paid per mile traveled not dollars paid per gallon of fuel.In my own opinion, though I know many would agree, one of the most exciting things about a diesel engine is that its already set up to run on biodiesel! I've researched biodiesel heavily, and in discussing it with people I have found that many are surprised to find out that you can run a car on biodiesel with literally NO modifications. Any diesel engines that run on diesel fuel will run on biodiesel.
What ways of transportation use electrical energy?
So why biodiesel? Well, there is a plethora of reasons out there, but I'm not going to go into detail with all of them. In a nutshell, it is far more clean, it can be produced in your garage, it can be produced for under a dollar a gallon, and it is actually better for your engine than regular diesel as it lubricates the engine on its own. There are a few drawbacks that can easily be remedied but you should be aware of them: biodiesel becomes to viscous at low temperatures and therefore must be prewarmed when its real cold out, and it actually will clean your engine for you. The problem with this? Well, if you've been burning petroleum diesel in your engine for a long enough time, then undoubtedly your fuel lines and everything in your engine has become crapped up with who knows what. Biodiesel is a strong solvent and cleans all this up- but where does it go? Generally, right to the fuel filters. So with a simple replacement of the fuel filter you should be fine!
What was your impression of the Geneva Auto Show (Geneva Motor Show)?
Biodiesel is a truly intriguing and awesome thing! Just the fact that you can run your diesel car on it should be enough to persuade you in favor of diesel engines. Look it up and find out for yourself!
yes, it doesn't burn fast like the petrol, it gives out more power hence it is not spark ignited rather compression ignited.
IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE VEHICLE IS USED FOR. IF ITS JUST AROUND TOWN AND SHORT STOPS ,THEN NO. BUT IF YOU INTEND ON PUTTING SOME MILES ON IT ES-SPECIALLY WITH A LOAD THEN YES
