> the combustion of 1 liter of diesel fuel releases approximately 13% more CO2 than for the same amount of gasoline

But with a liter of diesel (usually) you can make more kms than with a liter of gasoline. I'm not sure the CO2/km of each class of motor, though

imho both effects stem mostly from the fact that diesel has ~11% higher density than gasoline.

(ie. mileage and co2-output become more equal if measured against mass rather than volume)
