But...my Yaris gets 36 mpg and what would a diesel get? (in town?) Lets say 44 mpg. So to drive a thousand miles in the Yaris is $76. 1000 miles in our diesel is $69. You save $7 per 1000 miles times 100 thousand miles is $700. Can you buy a diesel car for $15,000? (the bottom line for my Yaris) I think it would be MUCH more. Maybe $5000 more. The numbers just arent there.
