> Does the higher cost of diesel get offset by the higher MPG? Just wondering as I saw today, diesel was like $4.27 at Hess.

A little bit but not much I wouldnt think. If your average commuter car gets 25-30mpg highway and the average VW TDI is getting around 50mpg diesel would have to be basically twice as expensive as 87 for it to not be worth it.
