My only complaint is the price spread, I have no issue with 5~7$ a gallon Diesel as long as Gasoline is Similar in price.

My "theory" Lots of Manufacturers ( Honda, Ford, VW +++) are introducing new Diesels this year (saves lots of fuel!!) but Oil companies love gasoline and love SUV's; so run up the price of Diesel and people will stick to their SUV's.

Rant # 2
How about emissions rated as per mile traveled? I know my 50+ MPG TDI isn't polluting as much as the LEV rated V10 (5~7 mpg) Excursion 4x4 my neighbor drives.
