Not trying to stir any pots but some folks here are playing fast and loose with the math...
"If" diesels get 10 to 15 percent better mileage and diesel fuel costs 25+ percent more than gas then once you add in the cost of these wonder pistons {I doubt they are free to buy much less install} there doesn't appear to me much of net savings {assuming they actually work as represented here}.
I like the power and reliability of a diesel, had one in my last boat {a 40' trawler} for 5 years but now, like many I simply have no use for that motor.
There are three kinds of people on this planet... those that can do math and those that can't.
:B
And many people that can point out errors in arithmetic, but can't grasp the logic.
If a engine is getting 16 MPG
on diesel, is modified, now gets 20 MPG
on diesel the price of
gasoline does not amount to a pinch of snot.
I have been saying for decade and half the diesel engine industry should be working to clean the combustion instead of cleaning the exhaust.
