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.
