Regular gas $2.24. Diesel $3.69.

That's $1.45 more per gallon.

My wife wants to buy a new car and get rid of her Ford Explorer. I mentioned "How 'bout a new Diesel VW?".

Her response? "I don't think diesels are such a good idea anymore. The fuel is so much more expensive. Even if they do get better milage, is it really worth it? I think a small gas engine car makes more sense now".

So much for convincing the public of the merits of diesel...
