I compared my diesel pickup with an otherwise identical gas version where the owner used it in the same manner as I. So long as diesel was not more than 50-cents more than gasoline per gallon it was a wash. But the diesel will last a great deal longer, is capable of more work, and I was not (at the time) striving for highest mileage in all instances. The advantages of diesel are not -- in the right configuration -- limited to fuel economy.
