I thought CNG had less energy per gallon than diesel, so I'm having a hard time understanding how this reformulated diesel is so much more efficient unless they getting a more complete burn of the stored diesel energy.
You are absolutely correct.
However in this case it isn't a energy thing, it is COST per mile.
Basically put, using CNG or propane dilutes and reduces the amount of expensive diesel used per mile with a lower cost fuel.
The problem is you have to USE MORE of that lower cost fuel to make up for the lost energy.
You can't get something for nothing (IE perpetual machine), there is always some loss but that doesn't stop folks from doing it..
