Yes, it sounds this stupid to an HD diesel owner when an HD gasser owner says they will never recoup their money.
To be fair to those discussing recouping costs, the 2nd post in this thread was from a diesel owner saying they're close to "paying off" their diesel.
What I am saying is that this is not the reason why he or any other HD diesel owner buys one. If he puts enough miles on it to pay for itself in fuel economy savings alone, it is just a secondary benefit. It is silly to an HD diesel owner to hear people say that this is their main reason or even one of their reasons especially if they haven't done the math yet.
