But because of that diesel price premium, the simple Subaru Impreza is really better at a cost per mile calculation. The question for me would be is the $.65 difference the new norm, or is it the 28% price difference the new norm? Because when we get back to $5 gas, will diesel be $5.65 or $6.43?

Yeah its bad. Thats why I don't understand the new "I wanna buy a diesel post."
Locally:
Gas is $1.929
Diesel is $2.899
Feel bad for those diesel Jetta guys right now. That 50 mpg highway right now must feel like 33 mpg.
