Just curious how? Diesel takes more expensive fuel (more expensive than Premium). It needs DEF, needs more expensive oil (more of it), filter maintenance, etc. And it costs more than the V8
Yes I am from Australia. Although it is dearer to buy overall it is cheaper and the towing performance is vastly better, To the point that the Japanese manufactuers are dropping their Petrol(gas) options for Pickups. Europeans already have.
About a week ago this appeared in US Automobile Blog.
Diesel cost of ownership lower than GAS
Now why would you go and post the truth when you can just make things up? :B
Itguy08, you forgot resale value, diesels sell for a lot more then their gas counter part. My 2004 still holds a resale value of $17,400 for average $11,400 for the Hemi. That is more then the cost of the diesel option.
