Hello,
I'm not much of an expert so to say, not ASE certified or anything, somewhat of a shade tree mechanic and have been a trucker for around 10 years though. I've found that diesel fuel is more environmentally friendly than gasoline as diesel burns 98-99% clean even if you do see smoke. The smoke isn't as bad for the environment as it looks. Diesel is also the leftovers from the other fuels and really cheaper to make, but the need for it is allowing it to be overpriced. I hope that helps you, I don't really have links for you, but that is what I have been told from several people throughout my career from knowledgable people.
