Folks,

Remember, diesel fuel price is a small part of the long term equation. First of all diesels typically go further on each gallon of fuel (see my post at the top about more energy in each gallon).

Also, once you start driving a diesel, I believe it will surprise you how easy it is to find diesel fuel. I'm at a point where I can almost glance at a station and tell you whether or not they sell diesel fuel. Granted, it is much less available in the inner cities. However, if you are always in the city, driving stoplight to stoplight, a diesel is probably not the best choice for you anyway.

Good luck,
