Solution(By Examveda Team)

Diesel is in principle easier to refine than gasoline, however it contains more pollutants that must be extracted before it can reach the same levels of emissions as petrol. Per litre, diesel contains more energy than petrol and the vehicle’s engine combustion process is more efficient, adding up to higher fuel efficiency and lower CO₂ emissions when using diesel.
