"Gas stations....where nobody knows your name."

I'm not comparing diesel to premium. Who runs premium in a car that doesn't need or require it, might as
well flush your money down the toilet if one runs premium in a Prius. In the Winter our Prius gets 49.5mpg,
in the Summer it gets about 50.5mpg.

Sure the diesel engine will last longer probably much, much longer than the car itself will last. I'm not throwing
off on Chevy as we have an '02 Tahoe Z71 that I wouldn't trade for a brand new one. I know a bit about diesels
and how long they last as there are 4 diesel tractors here on the farm ranging from 40-106hp. The oldest
is a '78 IH 686 with a German made 6 cyl. engine and an aftermarket M&W turbocharger and it has about
5000 hours on it. The newest is a '12 JD 5065M with Mexican made 5 cyl. turbocharged engine and about
275 hours on it.
