The fuel cost per mile is less with diesel as it gets better mileage
With the gasser based on todays price here in Minnesota 39 cents per mile based on 7 mile per gallon
The diesel pusher is 32 cents per mile based on 9 miles per gallon
Since the mileage is 22% better the diesel is more cost effective unless the price per gallon exceeds gas by more than 22%
Wait until you have to do a oil change on a diesel vs. a gasser. The difference is huge and will likely take up any savings that fuel mileage may have given you. Of course the fact that diesel has been running about 0.60 cents a gallon higher than unleaded doesn't help either!
