Diesel prices are sickening considering it's a byproduct of gasoline production.
It makes sense in a big truck,but haven't seen many diesel automobile's that get the longevity of large diesel engines.
It would take a while to recoup the extra costs of the vehicle through the fuel mpg savings, if diesel keeps their prices ahead of regular gasoline.

There was a time where diesel was cheaper than gas. However with the epa guidelines to reduce the sulfer from diesel the cost has never been equal. There is more BTU's in a gallon of diesel than a galon of gas.
