22 mpg running to and from work makes a diesel a no brainer for me.
When I picked up my new 2005 Silverado Duramax from the dealer on June 29, I got 20.7 mpg on the interstate in cruize control at 50 mph for the 250 mile trip home.
Reluctantly using it to commute 10 miles round trip to work for the past three months of winter with temperatures between 5-40 degrees averaging say 25 degrees, I got 11.6 mpg.
Thus I question the circumstances of obtaining 22 mpg.
