Diesel is more expensive than gas per gallon. Actually, right now, mid
grade and diesel have been exactly the same price here for a month or so,
but that's unusual. But the diesel gets much better mileage than my gas
vanagons ever did, so despite the higher per-gallon costs, the diesels are
cheaper to operate than the gas engines. When you're talking about new
cars, I don't know how much more the higher cost of the diesel version
would offset that, but I'm not talking about new cars.
