Agreed, If you are buying a 6B engine merely for fuel milage I think it is bad economics.
The reason to buy and expensive, heavy, diesel is because you are going to work it and not just drive it around town or to the office.
But,, the light smaller engines like the Isuzu 4 cyl and the VW diesels make good sense to me for normal driving.
These engines are quiet, fairly light, and fuel efficient.
