theres not much difference in price today between diesel and gasolineHere in CA, diesel has commonly been $0.30 higher than gas at the pump. My new 1/2 ton crewcab 4x4 Silverado would have cost me several $thou more with the diesel option.
On the bright side, GM is coming out with a smaller, yet still very powerfull diesel for their 1/2 tons and vans. I may take another look at these in a couple years.

Diesel engine will last twice as long with fewer repairs. Seems several thousand more would have been a good choice.
BTW I have a Dodge D350 with a Cummings, and over 200,000miles. Never had a wrench on the motor.

Here in CA, diesel has commonly been $0.30 higher than gas at the pump. Here in Washington, 55 cents or more (compared to 87 octane gasoline).

Diesel fuel is about $.30-$.40 cpg higher in the Midwest, too. When I worked for a major oil company only a few years ago, we were always long of N2 and couldn’t find enough homes for all that we made. One month, because we had such a huge store of distillate, we actually ran our own oil in the refinery crude charge to make gasoline.
