EcoDiesel Ordering
This is a reply I got from Jeep when I asked why I could not "build and Price" a Grand Cherokee with a diesel. Doesn't make sense. It is great to read of your interest in Jeep! Please be advis...

For the better part of a year, diesel has been priced equal to, or less than gas. Here, it is still within $0.10/gallon. Where have you been hiding with those prices?
Not here in PA. Diesel has always been more expensive than gas. For the better part of a year now it's been as expensive as premium. I pass by a gas station daily that posts both prices on its sign.
Regular-$2.74/Diesel-$3.17
Regular-$2.79/Diesel-$3.35
Regular-$2.79/Diesel-3.35
Even the government doesn't show Diesel ever being cheaper than gas this year.

Your beloved Ford thinks that the EcoDiesel is a good enough idea that they are introducing their own version of it. Are you going to hate on it as well?
I don't get the reason for Ford bringing the Diesel F150 other than maybe CAFE. If it has **** payloads and average MPG the hate will be there too. Don't get the allure of Diesel in light duty especially since the turbo gas engines are so good.
For the life of me, I don't understand people like you, Fish, and Nutz, who have a transparent agenda against FCA. What exactly do you have to gain if the company fails? 100,000 + people out of work? Sounds like bad news to me, regardless of which manufacture we are talking about
Maybe because they have been a drag on the economy for the past 30 years, requiring 2 bailouts. They have been making **** vehicles for nearly their entire existence. Poor business decisions after another. They need to go the way of all the past brands that have put out junk.
They sell a couple million cars annually. Someone will fill in that void, and that means jobs for those people. GM, Ford, Honda, Nissan, Toyota, VW, all with plants in the USA will happily pick up the slack and will need people and plants to make that happen.
