Diesel engines give more miles per gallon than gasoline engines, but some of this is due to the higher energy content of diesel fuel. At highway speeds, it takes 0.20 MJ to move an aerodynamic car 1.0 km. At highway speeds, with a gasoline engine, a car gets 16 km per liter of fuel; with a diesel engine under the hood, the car gets 19 km per liter of fuel. One liter of diesel contains 36 MJ; 1 liter of gasoline contains only 32 MJ. What is the efficiency of the diesel engine? What is the efficiency of the gasoline engine?
