Current modern Diesel engines are a joke for the vast majority of buyers. They offer almost no economic advantage. For example:

Wow, 9,000 lb trailer and the difference in fuel mileage between a 1/2 ton with a gas V8 and a 3/4 ton with a turbo diesel is about .5 MPG. What a joke. If both fuels are $3.00/gallon that extra $9,000 for the diesel will be paid for in only around 450,000 miles given a $.02/mile operating cost advantage for the diesel. Well factor in the more expensive maintenance and DEF and it’s probably more expensive to run the diesel per mile. LOL. Stupid bro-dozers.
