I also wonder where the breaking point of a Hemi 5.7L is over a base 3.6L in the 1500s. Or the breaking point of a 6.4L over the 5.7L in the 2500s. Oh wait, these will never have a breaking point.
If you are looking for a breaking point to justify your purchase then I would not recommend getting a diesel. You get one for other reasons. Similar to the very same reasons one would upgrade to the engines stated above even though it though it will cost them thousands in the long run. Better performance, capabilities, and so on.
Asking a diesel owner if it is worth it is like asking a 392 V8 Challenger owner if the thousands in added costs in fuel was worth it over the V6 Challenger. They would probably look at you funny.
