But why buy a diesel? Fuel is ridiculous (priced same as or higher than gas for far less refining), comparative parts are generally higher and the 'home mechanic' is unfamiliar with their operation. Add in that diesel can be hard to find in some places, and you have a problem. I like diesels for the very reasons you list, but it will take a tidal wave to get people to switch.
