Yes, that's usually true.
Diesel cars to tend to be a bit pricier though and the diesel is dearer. When looking at buying diesel or petrol (gas?) you need to do the calculation - I found that there was a cut off number of miles per year that made diesel more cost effective for me. As I comfortably exceed this it made sense for me to go for the diesel.
