Well I like diesel power and if diesel is at 5-6 a gallon then regular is going to be about 4.29-5.29. It's easier to make fuel for a diesel than gasoline but right now since diesel is in demand they are shipping it overseas and the cost is higher. But the current price of diesel plus the extra oil required for a diesel engine and extra cost to equip a car with a diesel engine really aren't going to sell very well in the US. It's huge in European countries(Audi TD, Mercedes, VW and BMW) and might make it here someday. With modern diesel engines their efficiency is about double that of a gasoline engine. Well I guess it has been for like since ever but now they are cleaning up the exhaust which most people don't like. A person would have to enjoy the idea of a diesel engine to buy one and most Americans aren't there yet. That's why were aren't really seeing the advantages yet.No demand, no market. But I have a 68 GTO with a dead motor and it might get a Duramax. A guy put one in a Buick Regal (not a GNX) and gets 35mpg. Dial in hp and have a blast. We'll see what happens in the future. Either way this is gonna be a bad a$$ car!
