Why buy a Diesel at all ??

Pro:

1) Good Gas Mileage
2) You get to eat at Truck Stops (?)

Con:

1) You pay a premium to get the D (is this still true ?)
2) Savings at the pump are almost zero on a per gallon basis
3) Terrible Acceleration
4) Excessive Engine Noise (admittedly subjective)
5) Below average resale
6) Design problems caused by bastardization of gas/diesel engines

Conclusion:

You are left with the gas mileage savings to amortize the premium
over the car life while you pray the sucker holds together.


Unless you are an over the road sales person who really racks up
the miles, why buy one ??
