In my area gas is 2.90/gal whereas diesel is still in the 3.70~3.80 range. This chart does not reflect this.
Based on the economy of the area in which I live the gassers would enjoy an advantage not shown in this chart.
Yeah it's really hard for joe public to make a buying decision with so many spinning the numbers. Standards like J2807 will certainly weed out the BS that comes out of every camp.
I will say last summer diesel was the same price as gas for about a month. I'm even more confused about the KKB thread yesterday now. This chart shows the little V6 Ram as cheaper to own :H Reality is they are all pretty close to one another. Except that price tag on the diesel engine :E
