I checked the website but couldn't seem to find it. Maybe I should look a lil harder.

Diesel may be $.50 more expensive per gallon, but you're getting up to DOUBLE the mileage.

25mpg of $3.50 unleaded is more money than 55mpg of $4.00 diesel. In 1000 miles, you're talking about $140 unleaded vs $73!
