People don't understand diesels say things like this.
I have people tell me my car doesn't get 50 mpg, or my buddies duramax doesn't run 14's with just a chip and some minor mods.
First off, take everything you know about gas engines and throw it out the window.
The same engine can run lean, and get great mpg, or it can run rich, very rich and make huge amounts of torque.
A diesel does not care about AFR. It doesn't care about Octane or spark knock. They run very high compression, which helps make more HP and better gas mileage.
Diesel do not have throttling loses like gas engines, there are no throttles. They run very high compression, which helps make more HP and better gas mileage.
And finally, diesel fuel has more energy per gallon than gasoline.
