What a diesel gains in mileage is modified by the increased fuel price to be a lot less economical. Not the full reason you buy one.
When gas was a buck a gallon, I was buying fuel for $0.50, then it made sense. It does still get 20mpg mixed driving, but here in Reno, gas is $3.98 diesel is $5. Crap diesel is cheaper, but I like not having fuel related issues like alky and water contamination. Haven't needed to drain my fuel filter yet in 22 years.
