I think gas will always be around. They have really messed with diesel by the new 2007 diesel emissions standards and the ultra low sulfur diesel. Sulfur is what kept everything lubricated. Diesel has cold weather issues like gelling and waxing etc. The engines are having to be totally rethought to work on the new fuels. What was tried and true reliable technology has been thrown out the window...

true dat, but at least a fair amount of money is being poured into the R&D part of it to solve the issues.. when you can get an F250 and have it run with an L.. well, I am impressed.
