[QUOTE="ndfinfan, post: 387807, member: 2279"] Still have lot's of time to decide which way to go - gas or diesel in the F250, but starting to lean toward gas. We were in Europe last 2 weeks - flew back into MSP Friday. Driving home Saturday couldn't believe how much the price of gas has dropped! Stopped at the Costco in Bismarck and filled up the wife's Honda - paid $2.95/gal! Diesel still over $4/gal everywhere between Bismarck and Minot. So for the sake of argument, let's just say gas "averages" $1 less per gallon than diesel over the life of ownership. That's about a $30 - $35 difference each time you fill up. I typically fill up the truck 3 times per month - so ~ $100 a month over the life of ownership or ~ $10K (rough estimating her of course). This quick cost comparison does not take into account the differences in maintenance costs over the life of ownership either. Add in the fact that the sticker price at purchase is ~ $10K more for diesel as well. For what I will require of this F250, I just cannot justify spending $20K more on a diesel. By spring when I purchase, maybe I will have come up with some rationale argument for diesel, but at this point...unless I'm missing something...gonna go gas. [/QUOTE]
