Well, gasoline will be fighting neck-in-neck.

What most people don't consider in the diesel versus gas debate (playing devil's advocate, here... I'm actually pro-CRDi) is that if you apply all of the advancements made for diesel engines to gas engines, then you'll have a gas engine that performs spectacularly and sips very little fuel.

New gasoline direct injection engine equipped with variable geometry turbochargers can produce more power, pound for pound, displacement for displacement, than CRDis. And unlike small turbo-blocks of old, they won't need extravagant cooling systems or high-octane. Direct injection helps gasoline engines run cooler than ever before.

In the future, it might be a choice between a 2.0 CRDi and a 1.0 direct injection turbo-gasoline engine in your compact car... and both would either be hybrids or equipped with powerful assist motors attached to new auto-batteries that could provide both regenerative braking and acceleration assist without the weight penalty of current hybrid batteries (I'm watching NanoSafe, right now, for developments)... would be a very interesting time to live...

Ako, buhay pa ako by that time... hopefully! :hysterical:
