Message:		If a diesel, on the average, offers a 30% increase in mileage, I'd realize a 4.64% cost savings based on our current gas & diesel prices [3.34/gal & 4.15/gal]. I understand for larger work vehicles [3/4 ton trucks and bigger] you get the benefit of increased torque but for a Liberty or Grand Cherokee or anything of the like.... would you ever realize a true savings based on the premise that you'd be ponying up at least $2000-$3000 extra for a diesel? As Robin points out... once the petroleum producers get a whiff of the big push for diesel powered family vehicles.... they'll more than likely jack the price up anyhow. John
