Diesel's 10-20% higher here; I run the numbers every time this idea pops up. When I learn enough, I could get into a 6.2L and breakeven in about year; longer if I used a Cum., MB, Isuzu... I'm thinking Diesel as a replacement for the worn TBI-350 in the Green Mach. and/or in the '53 BelAir. Mostly because I wanted something non-computerized and could possibly use small amounts of the alt. fuels (wvo/wmo/bio...). These aren't commuters but a way to learn about Diesel for future options.
