Where we live 27/35 mpg is not as good at $.70 more per gallon. The new jeep Cherokee (although ugly enough to make the paint in your garage peel) with the new 9 speed auto at under $30k for a 4wd v6 and 19/27 mpg and a 4500 pound tow rating. The jeep only costs about a buck every 100 miles more for fuel in our area.
$300-400 over the long life of the car unless diesel prices magically come down.
