Well, I know from now on I plan on buying primarily diesel cars and trucks. They are much simpler to maintain and I love the torque and power you get out of them. The mileage is great and $ to maintain is a ton less than a comparable gasoline vehicle. I still like my gasoline in sports cars for the speed but for a BIG heavy car like mine it does pretty good cruzing at 100 +. I like the sound of the diesel engine and the price for a gal of diesel up here is less than $1 now so that too pleases me. The only other thing I can think of is the lifespan of these engines. all the diesels I have serviced have a ton of miles and you see few major problems compared to a gas engine with the same milage. ya ought to go test drive a newer diesel Benz and you will see what I'm talking about!
