What is the supposed advantage with diesel? Does it take less crude to make a gallon?

ADvantages include better gas mileage( 20-30% better than gas), no additives like gas (ethanol) and much better torque than gas. Honda says that their diesel will comply with Cali's strict requirements. It's my hope that diesel makes hybrids obsolete.
