The data�s all on fuelly.com
Go examine it yourself and draw your own conclusions.

FOR ME: Diesel is about 30% better mileage. Diesel�s cost in NE Oregon is about a 10% premium.

I didn�t say it was scientific. It�s just my observed data. I didn�t track the distance with anything other than the odometer. Gas rig: about $45 to fill every 200 miles. Diesel: about $50 every 300 miles. Each driven over the exact same route. (Daily commute = 15 miles each way. 5% city, the rest 55 mph.)

Visit fuelly.com The emperical data from many is right there. Draw your own conclusions.

For me, the diesel is significantly cheaper to drive.
