Re: [FWDLK] Deisel MPG - The HEMI is reborn!!!

[Scott H <kneedrager@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I looked into a few diesel trucks and most wont get 20 mpg more likely mid
to high teens.  For the difference in cost I stuck with gas.  Actually I got
my new ram quad cab 4.7 for a few thousand less that a 3-4 year old Ford
deisel with 75K + miles on it.  I guess you need to do a lot of miles to
justify the cost difference.
