Correct, don't need the extra expense if not absolutely needed. Plus around here diesel is 60-80 cents higher than gas. Plus as someone else mentioned, the cost for regular maintenance is substantially higher as well.
Diesel prices are just like gas prices. Almost all of the first 7 month of this year, diesel fuel was by far cheaper than reg gas in our area. Sometimes by 20 to 30 cents a gallon. Right now diesel is 3.85 and gas is 3.65 a gallon. But i can drive 20 miles in any direction, and you will find diesel or gas much higher, or cheaper than where i shop. Diesel might start to increase in price, as the farmers are now starting to harvest their crops. When in full swing, i know we can go through 400 to 500 gallons of diesel every day fueling the tractors, combines, grain haulers and related farm trucks.
I know this is off the intended subject, but fuel costs vary from state to state and times of year.
