The tone of discussion change quite a bit over the years.
Bear in mind that 10+ years ago diesel fuel was way cheaper than gasoline and diesel engines for trucks cost like $2000 more than gasoline counterparts.
Actually for the 1998 Mercedes I used to drive - diesel engine was cheaper than any gasoline option in USA.
Meaning driving diesel was saving tons of money, but finding good mechanic was hard part.
Now fuel pricing changed, so main argument for diesel is exhaust brake.
But then diesel engines went from 250 hp to 440 HP.
Quite a difference in perspective.
Bottom line is, that diesel fuel is the cheapest to manufacture and is sold in the biggest numbers in USA.
So once the price gouging coming with hurricane season is over, chances are diesel will become dollar cheaper than regural.
Let's get pen and paper then?
