He is very happy with it, as gas is cheeper than diesel and you can find gas at every gas station .. No diesel at Costco either .
So why would you want to buy a diesel 1/2 in the first place ?

cause you're buddy is not getting 9 on the highway although he may believe he is ,prolly closer to 10 in ideal conditions. this I know to be true. Diesel has significantly more low end torque which is a big towing advantage, diesel is priced higher than gas however the difference is rarely 10% and you are going to get at minimum 10% better mileage making it cost effective.1000k on a tank on the highway not a problem. the oil pump belt recomended inspection interval is 320,000 kilometers and thats going to be somebody elses problem. lovin my baby diesel
