That's a good start, but where's my diesel-powered half-ton pickup?

What is the benefit to having diesel, when diesel fuel is more expensive than unleaded? They're talking about 34mpg, but for that size of vehicle, 34mpg is pretty standard, isn't it? So, why would you want a 34mpg diesel when you can have a 34mpg unleaded, which is cheaper fuel?

Which will cost a good bit more and should require more maintenance...

good for GM.



ive never understood why we dont have more diesel vehicles in this country.

Long lasting engines dont mean much when gas engines last just as long.
The problem is everything else attached the car (vw...i'm talking to you)

The draw ofthe t-diesel in the cruise should be the torque\power delivery.
