A diesel Polo will emit far more toxic material. Besides, miles per
gallon is the wrong measure when comparing petrol and diesel because
they have different energy densities. Miles per kilogram is the proper
comparison.

This may be interesting from the scientific point of view - and
especially when weight is just as an important factor as volume (which
it is, say, for airborne transport). However, for road transport, so far
we pay only for volume.
