True on the calculation assumptions, as that's what you'd better figure with inflation from here on out.
So in five years when the 2017s are out and your 2004 is 13 years old, the gas will be worth $2500 and the diesel will be worth $8000? Really? That's not true right now.... check out used 1999 gas vs diesel
