Would you buy diesel again?

They’ve regulated the economy out of new diesels.

For you being very well versed in things mechanical, this response is surprising. If by economy, you mean fuel mileage, I find the newer diesel trucks (as do most others, numbers don’t lie) to be nearly as economical on fuel as the old ones.

If by initial cost or purchase price, the upcharge is commensurate with the overall increase in cost of vehicles I think. Especially considering a good chunk of that upgrade cost is now wrapped up in emissions systems whereas it didn’t used to be. Back to the regulation part.
