I've been thinking the same. I hear some wild claims about diesel fuel mileage but I've never experienced them.
My 1994 F250 Ex-cab, 4WD, 7.3 turbo-diesel gets a best of 17 MPG on a flat highway when empty. 4.1- axles and E40D overdrive auto trans. 13-14 stop-and-go driving.
My 1992 Dodge W250, Ex-cab, 4WD, 5.9 turbo-intercooled Cummins 5.9, 3.50 axles and 5 speed Getrag 5 speed manual (with OD) gets a best of 20 MPG on a flat highway. 15-16 stop-and-go. driving.
My neighbor's 2003 Chevy Duramax with the Isuzu-Durmax diesel and Allison trans gets a best of 16 MPG on a flat highway run.
My 1988 GMC Suburban with a 6.2 diesel, 3.73 axles, 4WD, and TH400 auto trans (no lockup or OD) gets 17 MPG on a flat highway and 13 MPG "around town."
My 1986 Chevy K5 Blazer with 4WD, 6.2 diesel, 3.08 axles, and 4L60 autot trans (OD and lockup) gets 20 MPG on a flat highway and 16 MPG "around town."
My 1985 Iszuu mini-truck with 4WD, four speed stick and 2.2 diesel gets 27-28 MPG highway or empty. Seems to get the same not matter what I do and top speed is around 65 MPH (which it never sees)l
My 1991 VW Jetta with a 5 speed stick and 1.6 diesel gets 48 MPG on the highway and 38 MPG "around town."
I'm using a 1995 Ford F150 4WD right now with a 300 straight-six. E40D trans. Gets 17 and sometimes 18 MPG on a flat highway run. Cheaper to drive then ANY of my full-size diesels.
I also just met a lady with a newe 2015 Chevy Cruze diesel. It gets 46 MPG highway and 33 MPG "around town." The gas version is cheaper to buy and cheaper to buy. Gas version gets 42 MPG highway and 33 MPG "around town." So right now - the diesel costs $6.28 to drive 100 miles on the highway. The gas version costs $4.69 to drive the same 100 miles.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
