Ah, I see what you are doing wrong. You are using the fuel prices in your area and not the national average for most people. And you said I cherry picked.
Again, we are talking about the AVERAGE truck buyer and not a small percentage. Most people have a much greater difference between gas and diesel prices due to many states having a much higher tax rate for diesel. Hence the reason why I was using the national average and not just one area. Why don't you plug in the national average fuel prices that MOST people pay in your equation and see where it gets you. Then you might see why I say that it s not enough of a dfference for most half ton truck buyers.
Here are the national averages by region -
