I drive a 2008 Jeep GC with a 3.0 diesel and pull a 20' tt. I do get pretty good mileage but the cost of oil changes exceed $200 every 5000 miles. This years travels had us paying around $0.45 more for diesel fuel. Plus, I have to search for the diesel pump and quite a number of fuel stations still don't carry diesel. I have no complaints about towing ability but I'm seriously considering switching back to gas.

X2 to that I believe that several diesel owners get taken advantage of. at full price the oil and Cummins filter for my 01 is $57 for the materials.
If using synthetic oil, the changing interval should be much higher than 5,000 miles.
