I like this mentality, it helps keeps the cost of diesel and used parts down.
I have three Cummins 4bt conversions and a Dodge Cummins truck. I don't find them more expensive. And $.50 more a gallon for $4.00 fuel is only about a 14% increase for which I get 100% better fuel mileage.
Just my 14+ year real life experience not speculation.
