Part of the problem is even though diesels offer much better fuel mileage they still may not pencil out economically. For example, if you do the math using mpg numbers published for the Ram 1500 diesel and with current fuel prices you will find that the truck will be wore out (as in 300k+ miles) before the $4000 option cost is recouped. In larger trucks the performance and capability increase of the diesel would help justify the cost but in small trucks like the Ram 1500 and next year's Chevy Colorado the diesel is marketed mostly as a fuel saver. Unfortunately, when diesel fuel costs more than gasoline and the diesel engine option is so expensive then fuel savings don't necessarily mean dollar savings. In countries with a fuel price structure that favors diesel instead of gasoline it would be a different story.
