Mileage depends on the type of car, driving habits, condition of the engine, etc.





To change a regular gas car into a diesel car would entail changing the engine from a gas burner to a diesel burner. Cost of the engine plus intallation and anything else that would need to be done to the car to make it road worthy.
Reply:1. It depends on where you live.


2. It depends on the year, make, and model of the vehicle. It also depends on the driving habits of the driver and the mechanical condition of the vehicle.


3. Enough that it would probably be cheaper to buy a diesel car rather then convert one. In addition to changing the engine, you would have to change the main engine wiring harness, the computer, exhaust, etc. The labor involved would be tremendous.





Diesel is the most expensive fuel on the market right now. You may get better gas mileage with some diesels but it's more than a $1 per gallon more expensive than 87 octane gas. I don't believe the increased mileage outweighs the extra cost for diesel fuel.
