Those who don't care about resale value must be exception.
Driving diesel is convenience.
Just couple days ago, I drove sedan from Las Vegas, to pick up DW at LAX and then we drove to San Francisco.
Tiring trip as in Los Angeles rush traffic we managed to drive 20 miles in 1st hr. That was on HOV lane.
So pretty tiring close to 700 miles trip and last thing I need is frequent fuel stops.
So with diesel I made it all on single tank.
Still remember driving gasoline wagon across US and fueling it 6 times a day. No, not me senor.
