If you do the math, the fuel savings on the diesel don't pay for themselves until you go out almost 100k.
My F250 diesel is and has been cheaper to run than my Ex-Explorer..

the Explorer got 15mpg on a good day...When I towed with it I was down arounf 7-9mpg... And towing 5000lbs+ with an explorer lets the tail wag the dog..



I used to fill the explorer 3X a week at 35 or so per filling...

My F250 I fill every 8th day.. @ $50...

Diesel tow vehicles and fast Porsches.... I like it
