I filled up this morning for $2.199/gal. At the same station gas was selling for $1.549/gal. I usually get around 21 mpg so that gets me $0.1047/mile. If a gasser gets 16 mpg that would be $0.0968/mile. I am losing .8 cents per mile compared to a gasser. It hasn't always been this way, but the last several months have. I just hope it evens back out so I can feel better about the extra cost of the diesel option. I won't care about justifying the cost since there are other factors at play here also (fun to drive).
