with the higher cost of diesel fuel, DEF, more expensive oil changes and the higher cost of buying the diesel engine itself, not to mention the more expensive repairs/maintenance, I doubt there will ever be a return on investment with a diesel engine, but if driving a diesel is very pleasurable to you, then maybe it's worth it.All I hear I hear is blah blah blah mpg blah blah blah. Held this for half a tank! Read it and weep! Diesels rule gassers drool.
I would imagine that the higher cost of diesel vs gas in the mpg aspect would equal out. More or less. Repairs and maintenance? 125k warranty disappearing deductible 7 year. Plus I paid 8% under invoice on my Gladiator so the diesel engine realistically only cost me an additional 1500$ not to worried about it. Yes it does give.me pleasure to drive a not so slug gasser.
That is a wonderful thing that we have so many choices. I can relate to driving what you truly enjoy. I drive only manual transmissions and they don't get even as much fuel mileage as automatics so people are quick to point that out but I just love driving them better. And I have owned diesel and gas vehicles and I prefer the instant throttle response and free revving of gas engines, it's all just preferences and choices, a lot of fun.
Out of curiosity... what happened to your other 6 gallons of fuel? You have a full tank, and at that average mpg you should be getting well into the 650 miles range. 35.2 average and 452 mile range means you've only got a 12.8 gallon gas tank... that's interesting. I'd be willing to bet that's what happens when you're getting 23.7 mpg and you suddenly reset your average mpg while cruising on the highway... If I were averaging 35 mpg and only got 450 miles per tank I'd be at the dealership in a hurryAll I hear I hear is blah blah blah mpg blah blah blah. Held this for half a tank! Read it and weep!

That’s keep not keep damn autocorrect
