steve, for the record, the diesel and gasoline prices I quoted are at Flying J in CA and there was not one Flying J in all of CA that had diesel at $5.00 or more. The prices are posted online and offer an accurate reference of gasoline and diesel price throughout the US that can be verified by anyone with an internet connection. Quoting $5.50 may be reality if you chose to buy diesel at the station near your house, it also may be sensationalistic and I doubt most people decide to buy the most expensive fuel they can find. During my drive to work today there were gas prices for regular from $3.98 to $4.46, I would not choose to buy the $4.46. Diesel in CA $4.89 g Regular Gasoline in CA $4.49 As to a diesel Ridgeline, Honda has stated that diesel was a better power source than hybrid for larger vehicles and hybrid was better power source for smaller vehicles, so I expect a diesel is more likely from Honda for Ridgeline.

But then again, the Toyota Hylander benefits from a more conventional hybrid system. The Ridgeline is a cross truck that is used for passenger hauling and light hauling. I say light hauling because the tow rating isn't very high and the bed is small compared to most "trucks". I say leave the diesel powered truck to the F350 - the big trucks that really need all that low end torque. For me, and I'm guessing the majority of Ridgeline owners/prospective buyers, they would favor fuel economy over low end torque.

Here are some photos of the new 2009 Ridgeline. Some of the changes include a "Pilot" type grill, daytime running lamps, fog lights, integrated trailer hitch, rear back-up camera, redesigned wheels. http://www.leftlanenews.com/wp-content/plugins/iimage-gallery.php?idpost=7802&id- g=1&idi=3 Hope you enjoy, Brad

Replying to: aspesisteve (Jun 23, 2008 12:01 pm) The larger wheels are nice and the back-up camera. The fogs are a good addition. Supposedly the instrument cluster is changed but no pics as of yet. Brad
