Diesel's are the ones that have a problem starting in the cold, not gasoline engines. And yes, they generally do keep diesels running in the cold. Same with hospitol ambulances that are on call in the cold weather. So they do not run into problems starting. Diesels sold in cold weather climates generally do come with block heaters, or at least as an option.
Diesels are much more thermoefficient compared to gasoline motors. Which means they lose much less energy to heat, more power from combustion is used to power the vehicle and less energy (heat) escapes.
