Buying my Hemi WAS a good idea

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.

That spread in diesel and gas is crazy, your speaking in ltrs which makes me think your in Canada but usually diesel is cheaper. only 3 months out of ye year is diesel more expensive, starts around October and goes to January. When all the big trucks are hauling us thanks giving and Xmas supplies the price goes up then back down. Right now in Nova Scotia there is a 10 cent differance. 1.07 and a 1.17.

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.

:h You're reading into my post things that aren't there. I don't regret my decision. It has proven to be the right one for me in my situation. Certainly not right for everyone, but it is for me.

The 6.4L Hemi truck engine calls for 87 octane only (it's right in the manual), not 89 like the 5.7L Hemi.

Yes I am in Western Canada. Diesel has been more expensive than gas (on average) here for the past couple years. I have owned both a gasoline powered vehicle and a diesel truck at the same time since 2003. I watch the prices carefully, and use a smart phone app to track mpg and running costs. I am very aware of what I pay and how much fuel I use. Many who have been on these forums with me for the past 11 years know that about me.
