Gas vs. Diesel (Ecodiesel)
I read this topic quite a bit here so here's PUT.com attempt to pencil whip the cost of ownership comparing some gas engine trucks to the new RAM Ecodiesel truck. Link Enjoy...

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.
I was wondering if someone would have noticed this. In my neck of the woods diesel fuel cost ~ $0.60 more/gallon of gas and add in > $100 fuel filters every 15k miles (an estimate on my part) and the cost of ownership of the ecodiesel stays in the red compared to some gas powertrains.
Haven't seen anyone mention the price of admission to diesel power bliss either.
