AFAIK diesels get better gas mileage the more miles they have on them. At my other job I was driving Kenworths and Internationals. The International with like 200K miles would sip on gas. The Kenworth which has like maybe 13K miles on it drank gas like a domestic V8 on pump gas. I would consider a diesel if the price was low enough to where I could rent it out when I didn't have it in use.

yeah they need to break in for a while.

BTW, Chevy/Ford/Dodge are supposed to be putting out 1500s with smaller deisels pretty soon.

I can't wait to see what those are like. A 1500 with a 4.0 Duramax would be so fucking hardcore awesome
