Replying to: freealfas (Mar 25, 2008 6:17 am) Diesel prices near me, however, and frightening. Cheapest near me is $4.199. Ouch. Gas costs 19% less right now by my math (and in my zip code). When I shopped around a greater area on gasbuddy.com, I found the same advantage for gas. Problem is 19% eats up more than half your fuel savings right up front. Diesels cost more to buy. I'm sure resale is better, but if demand increases as more diesel vehicles are offered, it could get worse. Hopefully this is a short-term phenomenom, but who knows? We'd need a crystal ball. At the very least, you would still have better durability, more range, better resale, etc. Diesels still have advantages. Sadly, your cost-per-mile to fuel up may not be any better than some gassers.

I don't want to discuss this here, so I'll offer a link instead: steve_, "What will you do when gas price rises above $4 a gallon?" #5391, 24 Mar 2008 7:43 pm It's a hot topic over there, hop on over if interested. |

If Csaba is right then don't expect to see too many high volume diesels anytime soon. That's not to say they won't be offered as optional engines in high volume models, but definitely not standard. The next Honda Pilot comes to mind for me.

Replying to: thegraduate (Mar 26, 2008 10:57 am) Perhaps Honda supplies a diesel engine to one of Hyundai's partners? For a while there you could have had a line from Honda to Saturn for the 3.5l V6 they supplied. And from Izusu to Honda for the Trooper and Rodeo clones. |
