I have a diesel truck. I bought it when diesel used to be cheaper than gas.  It still gets a little better mileage than the v10 gas engine that are comparable in HP and torque, but the initial cost, maintenance cost, higher fuel cost, just don't make up for the difference.10 years ago, diesel trucks used to get 20+ mpg, now the new trucks get around 10-12. New "technology" or EPA requirements seem to be killing their mpg performance. Also, the manufacturers need to claim most HP and torque (400 and 600 is the claim to fame now) doesn't help efficiency. If my little 15k Yaris can get 37mpg, I am fine with that. Thats better than most motorcycles I ride get. |
