[QUOTE="TXBobcat, post: 96456, member: 94"] Interesting, I've heard you talk about this before and always enjoy reading your posts, but I still don't quite understand. I currently drive a 318 gasoline Dodge Ram, but plan to buy a diesel next time because, my logic is as follows: If I drove 1000 miles in a gasoline truck and 1000 miles in a diesel truck and got 15 mpg in the gasoline and 20 mpg in the diesel, I would spend the same amount of money if diesel was $0.50 gal higher than gas, plus I would have more power. Example : 1000 miles / 15 mpg = 66.666 gals gas x $1.50 gal = $100 1000 miles / 20 mpg = 50 gals diesel x $2.00 gal = $100 On the weight side though, I would be using 400 lbs of diesel and right at 400 lbs of gasoline. Guess I'm confused on this issue? [/QUOTE]
