A Way to Leave Liquid Fuel Troubles Behind Fuel contamination is an invisible yet prominent foe of fossil fuel-powered commercial fleets, and one principal reason to advocate for electrification is eliminating this concern. For example, even though diesel is 35% more efficient than gasoline, water attaches to it more readily than gas.
