I dont own anything long term, we all know this. Right now diesel is $.50 *more* than premium on the way to work - $3.75 vs. $4.25 (maybe things are different out in the sticks, but thats not where I am so it doesnt matter) and most stations dont have diesel.
And I dont want to spend "new car" money. See above about long term ownership.
yeah, that was more of an aside. this is the same reason I haven't bought a diesel yet. On the other side of the coin though, and i am completely not researching this before i say it, but I'd think diesels are probably going to come down in price as more hit the market with the owners dumping them. I saw an 01 TDI with 65k miles on it for 6500$ on autotrader or something a while back..seemed like a pretty good deal. If you were going to buy something and keep long term, I'd expect diesel to return to its normal amount less than gas.
