If you look at what many consumers spend on automobiles, it would be hard to justify the extremely high premium paid for the fancier models and trim levels. For example, if a person is buying a sedan, the much higher price of say a Toyota Avalon or Mercedes, does not make good economic sense when the higher priced cars don't do anything different than a conservatively priced Toyota Corolla, or Ford Fiesta. Not only is the upfront cost considerably more, the mileage tends to be much lower too. However, consumers that purchase the higher end vehicles, see value in the added cost. It's their money, so it's their choice.
The decision to purchase a diesel truck may, or may not, make economic sense either, but when it comes to doing work, it's hard to beat a diesel. To me, putting 4,000-pounds on my truck and asking it to go up and down giant hills is work, so that calls for a diesel.
