You're $500 ahead. But in my neck of the woods diesel runs on average $0.57 more per gallon.
80,000 miles / 18 mpg (being generous) = 4444 gallons X $0.57 = $2533.08 extra spent in fuel costs. You're now $2033.08 in the hole.
Do the math again using the fact that the diesel will use about 30% less gallons.
