I was told it is partly because of taxes and refinery's having to make different blends of diesel for the winter............Sounds like hog wash but like I said it is what they told me.
I get good fuel mileage with mine, even though, I still run my gas car in the winter as I don't like the hard starting and other issues..............Main reason I put a diesel in was because it was different(Everyone has a small or big block) and the low end torque these engines make is unreal.......I like that in a pickup.
My next one will be a trailer puller, so I'll need the power and reliablity that you really can't get with a gas engine. Not to mention it would be difficult to run a 9 spd Eaton Roadranger behind most gas engines.
