Like I said this is how I understand it, I could be wrong. Make your own conclusions by looking at these links.
Someone please clarify my statement if it's off or completely wrong.

With the sheer number of new diesel models setting to launch in 2010 the price of diesel will rise to meet demand.

It may be actually cheaper to buy gas per mileage at that point

Agreed...still the torque of a diesel is very appealing. Seeing diesel locally for $4.88, I will agree that the cost may not be offset enough to justify buying one.

i want one because it would give me better mpg butim on a 3 year lease in my ridgeline so that means i would get that diesel the 1st year right?? i think i will just buy my ridgeline when the lease ends for $17K

The sad thing is we are about to experience a massive influx of new methods for producing huge quantities of bio diesel like that made from trees which is highly profitable and the price will stay high
