Re: To all the broke d*cks who can't afford a diesel one tone.
If you only keep your truck a few years, stay under warranty, the diesel is the better bet. If you tend to keep your trucks 10+ years, the diesel becomes an expensive proposition. Particularly a modern emissions diesel. Eventually all trucks will need repairs. Everything for a diesel is way more money, starters, water pumps etc. Injectors and a fuel pump in a gasser is a few hundred. Same components in a diesel start at 5 and can easily go to 10k in a hurry. And you will eventually need them in either truck.
If you tow heavy, diesel is king. If you don’t, it’s an unnecessary want or luxury. To each his own.

not sure where that came from, but according to gas buddy, the Delta area is between 162.9 and 169.9 for regular. Much of the lower mainland is in the 152.9 to 159.9 range.

The new ford 7.3 gas is going to put the competition on its heels to say the least. Going to be very interesting! And yes chevy pretty much borrowed all the early 351 ford criteria to build LS. Go to link. http://351c.net/board/index.php?/topic/162-g-pence-chevy-ls7-expose-nov-2011/. I dont think its a coincidence.

The nice thing about a ridiculously big gasser (or diesel) is that they can nearly idle on the highway due to the huge torque. This makes them run with relatively low emissions and as they can be geared high they tend to last longer (as the rpm is lower.). I think this has been a key factor in manufacturers upping the displacement over the past few years.
