[QUOTE="Campground Cattle, post: 96461, member: 195"] You have got it as we sell by volume and not weight diesel is the better buy as you are getting more energy for the same price. Refiners use the term fluffing the barrel through catalytic reactions they actually expand the molecules creating volume that is why fuel is sold by the gallon. There is one process they all have if you charge the unit 60,000 barrels of diesel you get out 68,000 barrels of gasoline the weight in and out is the same but the volume is increased. You are right on 66 gallons of gasoline weigh = 396 pounds of fuel and the diesel is 400 pounds of fuel. The reason you have more power is diesel has more stored energy because it is based on a C-16 molecule to gasolines C-8 molecule more carbon more energy = more power. Not to discourage you with the government regs coming in 2006 clean fuels I look for diesel prices to increase as more diesel is converted to gasoline. [/QUOTE]
