But I've never run any actual numbers, I'm just going by how often something with a diesel engine pulls beside me in traffic.
I just visited the You-build-it Ford site and found a new 2011? F250
for a mere $28,020 not too bad.. But when I selected the diesel engine,
it also added the required drive-train too.

At $35,855 it's $7,835 more than the plain gasser.
That 36k is before you get to the packages (radio etc).
After a few add-ons, it's gonna be in the 40k range.
