Too bad diesel is more than a dollar higher than premium out here. :(

WooHoo....Biodiesel!!!! That's my ticket to freedom!!!

a dollar more per gallon, gain roughly 5-10 mpg or better. roughly 200ftlbs more torque.
I don't see the argument.

With better mileage it will equal out plus have more power than a 5.3L. Not to mention the above mentioned Bio-diesel!

Most people just see the $4.00 a gal and are turned off. I been waiting for a while to by a new truck just for the 1/2 diesel. I think it could see mid 20's in mileage easy.

Can't wait, I may have to trade up (or down, not sure what it would be considered :lol:) when it comes out.
I love the power now but don't need an HD 50% of the time but the efficiency of the Diesel makes it worth it compared to any gasser out there now.

<-----Someday.....someday.....:(

Don't forget that this is a NEW design. I wouldn't buy one until At LEAST the 2nd production year. Probably the 3rd just to be safe.

Good thing I won't be able to afford one until the 2nd or 3rd production year :jest:
