Buying my Hemi WAS a good idea
When I first became a diesel owner (2003 or 2004), diesel was almost always 10-15% cheaper than regular unleaded where I live. Then came ULSD, and the economy moved on. Diesel became the same price...

Most of what I see or here are the guys who bought the gas trucks trying convince themselves they made the right move. Really and truly I don't feel it matters, if your happy your happy. My only take from all this is some are still thinking they made the wrong move and that has to be a bad feeling, especially knowing the hit they will take on a trade in. Does not matter if it is gas or diesel you have, if your trying to create logic as to why you bought the truck you did, feel bad for you.
Also you are comparing regular and diesel. I had a 2011 5.7 Hemi and still had a charger rt, both called for 89 octane and not 87. My freind just bought a 2014 with 6speed auto and it calls for 89, are you running 87 in yours? I know plenty are doing it just wondering how it is working out, I would not switch my charger but my buddy may on his truck.
I thought about it logically before I bought my truck, and realized I didn't need or want a diesel. Price really wasn't a huge factor, as we could afford either. We just don't need a diesel to tow a 7,500 pound TT. I just wanted more payload. Like the OP, the HEMI was the right decision for me.
Also, the 6.4L only calls for 87 octane, unlike the 5.7L.
