Several years ago we went out to the east coast in a borrowed Dodge diesel truck over a weekend.
Never drove it below 70 mph. Never got below 22 mpg. It was my first experience driving a diesel. Never felt fast Never was slow. It was a hi-mileage vehicle.

Would I own one, you bet. Would it smoke. Probably. I ride 2 stroke road bikes. Same *****, I say that if you don't like it, pass me.
