[QUOTE="gimmie11s, post: 16395230, member: 17953"] 18mpg combined on the ecoboost is laughable first of all. So is 22 for the powerstroke. Those numbers are more like 16 and 28. Diesel is no $1 more per gallon, it's about .50 more per gallon. $1000 in DEF? LMAO.. ok. Plus no one was even talking about that junk, overpriced powerstroke... The comparison we are talking about was/is Ram Hemi vs. 3.0 Ecodiesel and/or GM 6.2 vs. their new 3.0 duramax. For either above you can expect ~16 mpg combined out of the 6.2 or 5.7. Give or take 2 mpg. For the diesels, you can expect 28 combined give or take 2 mpg. At 1500 miles per month (i would say is average for most) the gas engines are using 93.75 gallons of fuel. At $2/gallon thats $187.5. At 1500 miles per month the diesel engines are using 53.6 gallons costing $134. Annual savings on fuel is about $650 per year with the diesel which means it would take you 3 years to recover the cost of the upgrade. Obviously if you drive twice that amount (many people do), it would only take a year and a half. But all of that aside, some people just want a diesel because they are torquey'er early in the rpm range and are more enjoyable while towing. Not to mention the fact that it is VERY easy to add power to an already turbocharged engine. Any of the light duty diesel motors will make 500+ wheel torque with very simple changes. [/QUOTE]
