Phil, I cut my fuel bill almost in half by going diesel, on gas about 8 mpg, on diesel at least 14/16 mpg, yes diesel is more money, but it makes up for it in mpg, plus the diesel protests less, I bought one with almost 400k on it, but good maintenance records. Now I have cut that cost by another 50%, I don't get too far away from the house anymore, those long road trips have lost their appeal! Bob
