I guess I cut my shopping off well before current model-years. Sorry for the confusion - those silly Bluetec things are every bit as electronically complicated as their gasoline counterparts.... which is why I wasn't really shopping for one anyway. When you get into 2000 and newer, certainly, maybe even a little earlier... there really isn't much of a difference and the fuel price does start to become a factor.
