Right here pal! So let's run the #'s again using the EPA since it's the same for all.....

We'll use this station as it's near me:
Local Gas station

Regular: $3.36
Diesel: $4.29

EPA:
F150 Ecoboost: 17 combined
Ram Ecodiesel: 23 combined
Ram 5.7/8 speed: 17 combined

15000 miles Ecoboost: 883 gallons * $3.36 = $2,964.70
15000 miles Ecodiesel: 653 gallons * $4.29 = $2,797.82
15000 miles Ram 5.7: 883 gallons * $3.36 = $2,964.90
Yearly savings: $166.88

Ecodiesel cost - $2k over Hemi

Payback period : 11.98 years

No thanks, I'll pass. I think most motorists will see 23 and go "yeah". Then look across the street at Diesel price and say "NOPE!".

I remember when the Diesel Jeeps were supposed to be the hottest thing. Now the local dealer is saying "Lots of Diesel Jeeps in stock now!"...
