Some interesting information from
http://www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/pdfs/fueltable.pdf
BTU ratings
Gasoline 116090
Diesel 129050
Methanol 57250
Ethanol 76330
Propane 84500
Natural gas. 19800
The small extra BTUs in Diesel are not entirely why Diesel gets better
mileage. Higher compression ratios, lower pumping losses, and controlled
injection gets more of the available BTUs out.
