That wouldn't help me much, I currently probably drive 80% city BUT a diesel that gets 20mpg city would rock!
I get an average of 17mpg in and around town loaded with about 500/600lbs daily with my '01 122K mile Duramax/Alli combo.
Get the same kind of numbers on the interstate towing a loaded trailer and
somewhere in the 19/22mpg running empty down the interstate.

I'll be staying with a diesel for all/any of my work/tow/haul vehicles not only for the torque and mileage capabilities but for the longevity/dependability of the motor.
