I find the full throttle acceleration unacceptable in the ecodiesel. Both gassers are quicker for $4K LESS
Mind you, I'm not a luddite, and therefore higher revving engines that start in the extreme cold don't scare me.
Yay for you! For 99% of drivers that have never experienced WOT...they find part throttle acceleration unacceptable in the gas engines while using 20-40% more fuel in the process.
From your cold temp comment, it is clear you have little experience with a diesel made in the last 8 years. I do not find your information credible.
Pedal to the metal getting 5 mpg, isn't that what everyone does? So many people get fixated on peak hp and ignore power output in the RPM ranges they actually use.
