D2 - Diesel Fuel - Gasoil
Diesel fuel is more efficient than gasoline because it contains 10% more energy per gallon than gasoline.
But there are a few kinds of diesel fuel: Just as gasoline is rated by its octane, diesel fuel is rated by its cetane, which indicates how easy it is to ignite and how fast it burns.
