When you talk about the increase in resale value for diesels it is more fair to look at it from a percent of purchase price perspective. By factoring it that way it accounts for the higher up front costs of the diesel. I have had a couple gas HD GM trucks (an '11-and '15) and came out very well on trade in. I was worried I was going to get killed when I traded them in but considering what they cost, I was happy. Both cost around .18 cents a mile to own.
Appears to be big issue in the US, but not outside NA. As it stands Diesels are replacing ALL Petrol engines. Trsnd started in the late 1990's
