That would be a VERY rough estimate.

Diesels are about 20-30% more efficient than a typical gasoline engine, and diesel fuel has 10% more energy content than gasoline per gallon, producing about a 30-40% boost in mileage.

The 2008 diesel emission laws are going to be very strict, so you will see a lot of changes in diesel emission controls.
