from an environmental viewpoint, because 1 L of diesel fuel contains more carbon than 1 L of gasoline and because diesel-powered cars emit more pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and particulates [but less carbon monoxide (CO) and non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs)], diesel fuel should be more taxed than gasoline.
