Diesel is about 10 cents per gallon less than 87 octane in my area today. Prices fluctuate seasonally as well as with location and the breeze. Typically in winter, itguy08's statement applies, just not today in Michigan.
Must be nice! :) Here in PA it's $2.79 for regular unleaded and about $2.99 for Diesel.
The Ecodiesel takes special oil that is not standard Diesel oil (at least according to the Mopar guys) an expensive oil filter. One of the Ram forums was saying $70 DIY oil changes every 10k. It also requires DEF every couple thousand (5k or so) at $2-3 per gallon.
The Ecoboost uses regular 5w30 and a cheaper filter, also every 10k. No DEF needed.
They both sucked the fuel down on the Ike Gauntlet test with the 2.7 doing it faster. The Ecodiesel also ran warm on that test.
