Re: $5.00 Diesel - time to put her up on blocks!

You know, if you price out the cost per mile in diesel and gas engine, you
will find out that the cost is close enough.

I just did a calculation on the 01 E320 with 24 MPG average at $3.95 per
gallon premium and comes up with 16.5 cents per mile.

My 95 E300D with 29 MPG average with $4.59 diesel is 15.9 cents per mile...

Of couse if your MPG is much lower... then your cost is higher for diesel. I
am so glad I filled my cat at $4.39 before it jumped 20 cents! Last fill is
$90.49... even the attendant was stumped when I told him.
