Using that flawed logic you shouldn't be even considering propane or gasoline engines.
Diesels typically get 10% to 20% better fuel economy per gallon than their gasoline counter parts.
No ignore the "36% more energy" nonsense.
This was a comparison of BTUs per mile.
1 BTU of propane = 1 BTU of gasoline
When comparing BTUs per mile there is no deceptive energy per volume advantage. BTU per mile levels the playing field when comparing different fuels when trying to accomplish the same work.
