(quoted from post at 13:09:22 10/31/11) Lets see, today's price of highway diesel is $3.83 and highway gasoline is $3.52.
Diesel is 9% more expensive than gasoline per gallon.
How much better fuel efficiency does that diesel pickup have to have? Just break even on the difference on fuel price. Then break even on the diesel option cost? Add the extra service costs of the diesel's filters, extra crankcase oil etc?
As the truck ages or miles past warranty, how about all the emissions/injection/electrical equipment service?
I pretty much had that one figured out when I bought my gasser 10 years ago.
