The higher costs of diesel fuel is just the nail in the coffin.

Currently to lower record high stocks of fuel diesel is only 2 cents more per gallon here in NJ. But once the bluge goes away I expect the price differential to come back.

Yep...

.....and back when gas engines didn't reliably make it much past 100,000 miles, the scales tipped a bit more toward diesels...that could go 300,000 to 500,000 miles or more.
