Anybody done the math lately?

It used to be you paid more for a diesel up front, but got it back with cheaper per gal fuel prices and better operating efficiency. If the price PREMIUM over gasoline continues as it is now, where is the break even for low mileage users? Are we already there...is possible that you will never recover the extra cost of a diesel in a light truck or car if the gap in price between diesel and gasoline does not narrow?

...'Got a feeling some folks in marketing are starting to run the numbers again on old sales projections.
