Suburban Diesel Fuel Mileage Test

The cost arguments about gas vs diesel are generally stupid at a consumer level. Sometimes one is a little cheaper, sometimes the other. Generally speaking when you throw all factors into play there's not enough of a cost difference to matter relative to total ownership cost. There sure isn't to me, anyway.

That's why I'm not really sold on the baby diesels. They're more complicated and you've got more emission **** to deal with, yet they don't perform any better. The huge advantage of the Cummins, D-Max and Powerstroke is they're not turds like their gas counterparts.
