"Another way to look at this is with respect to fuel energy (the classic engineering approach) - because a gallon of diesel has 12.5 % more energy than a gallon of gasoline. MPG(gasoline-equivalent) = MPG(diesel) / 1.125

The RWD Ford (2.7 L turbo gasoline) with a 22 MPG combined rating is slightly better.
