This study presents a methodology for calculating energy equivalence conversion factors for fuel economy of diesel fueled passenger vehicles relative to gasoline-fueled passenger vehicles. Both differences in volumetric heating values for diesel and gasoline fuels as well as process energy savings attributable to refinery production shifts to diesel fuels are treated in the methodology.
