When diesel cost $0.60 to $1.00 more per gallon you won't make up the difference in fuel economy.
Actually my old gasser MPG was between 4-7 MPG, and my current diesel is very consistent 10 MPG regardless of hills/wind, etc... And diesel is currently 25 cents higher than gas in my area, so I think I am ahead currently on fuel cost with my DP.
Great! Good for you. That's not the norm. I was talking about the average. If you leave "your area" you may be unpleasantly surprised by the difference. Here in GA gas is $2.07 and diesel is $2.67. In CA expect to see $3.10 vs. $3.60+.
Glad you are in a diesel bubble market but that's not the norm. If you don't believe me, download Gas Buddy and take a look around.
