Show me how to own a diesel or other gas cheaper than to operate a 6 liter gas for its size and capacity. I will share cost of ownership figures. This one outdrives Ford or Dodge and own them both. You sink $50,000 in a new diesel pickup and show me the payback. $6000 buys a lot of ethanol and it was more like $10,000 in my deal. Raise the corn, burn the fuel, don't complain is my truck motto. If you can't, choose something else. If you live in a pickup truck I can see owning a diesel. I hope you burn soybean diesel. This is not aimed at you greenpower but I broke 15 MPG a few times. Not sure what I did to get it. I blame water in the fuel, gas or diesel a lot, don't think it does not "leak" in. Blend ethanol or soybean oil in mine please. I will pay the price difference. Drive the pants off that truck and try to save or earn money every trip. To me that is what a truck is for, not as a passenger vehicle. Ed Winkle
