One of the things one has to keep in mind, this thread has been going for 2 yrs or so. back then diesel was 1.40, gas 1.60. Doing the same numbers jwc did, the diesel comes out ahead. Using the fuel cost numbers today, gas is ahead. There will probably never be a end all be all correct answer to this debate! One can only look at the current economic situation and buy accordingly, and if your projections prove wrong, oh well!
Like myself, I was really toying with an ext cab SB GM when I bough my 05. I did not like the trans GM offered. So went CC DW diesel. I get the same mileage as quoted by jwc. If GM had the 6sp hydromatic, I'd have a 6.0 gas in the driveway, and cost per mile would be less than my current diesel. Right now, it is not worth trading in, soooooooo. Keep moving on, know at the time 3 yrs ago, I made the correct decision for what I did at the time. If buying today, decision would be different!

I agree Marty and I am glad my wife pushed me to sell our 6.0 PSD Excursion last fall and not Aug 2008 after the 5 year warranty expired.
