this is "my" official explanation:
I get 60 mpg hypermiling on a small scale, (very little aero mods, tires to 50 psi, Ultragauge, slower than average speed, EOC, DWL when possible).
it's said a turbo will coke if using EOC. i haven't experienced it myself.
diesels cost more in a new auto. used hold their premium unless wanting to fix a lot to get it roadworthy again.
i spend less than 40.00 every 8-10 days, every 930 avg miles. this is my 4th diesel to own but the first to hypermile.
therefor they aren't as plentiful, people don't understand them, some are leery because of the negative connection to the GM diesels from the 80's.
