Your logic is highlighted in the above text. Easy to tell the business people from the others on this Forum.
You get an "A" in Obamanomics
Feel free to explain how more expensive to buy, own, and operate with inferior performance adds up. You won't, you'll change the topic, but you can't simply refute the above. End of story.
Well, every comparison has said that comparable equiped the 3 brands are priced about the same, so it isn't more expensive to buy. It will get more than 20% better MPG than your choice of truck, so on AVERAGE, it will be less expensive in fuel. I don't have the info on operating costs, but I would be they are similar. And as far as performance, the EB has an advantage there, but again, the question is how many people drive with their foot to the floor all day long? Seems you are in the minority there.
Why don't we talk about resale value of diesel vs gas? Across the board, it is higher for the diesel, doesn't matter if it is a Duramax, CTD, or Passat. The only place it might not be is in the 6.0.
