> Using my vehicle ($2000) getting an average of 17mpg vs a $6500 used diesel getting 40mpg it’d take 45,000 miles to make up the cost. Vs a $5500 diesel getting 40mpg, 35,000 miles and so on. VS a $4000 diesel getting 50mpg it’d only take 16,500 miles. All based on current figures and assuming there is no unusual problems. So basically, if you have a diesel, KEEP IT so it’s worth it.

this is why i bought it. i dont buy and sell cars like a typical american. i buy and keep, unless its broken and its more to repair than its worth(my old OLD escort). i just found one thats REAL clean so i can enjoy a clean car for years to come.
