Actually, fuel costs, and diesel engine costs have gone the way of making the diesel more exensive than ever!
Why, back when diesel was 20 or 30% cheaper than gas, got way better mpg, and cost only $750 more as an option - now that was a deal. Now with diesel costing more than gas, diesel fuel mileage being reduced as performance gains, and the d@mn engines costing so much more...
Then again, if your towing heavy, go diesel because it tows.
The whole thing about cheaper, it just is not - unless ya tow heavy, and ya tow a lot, really a lot...
