It is not about the economic savings for manufacturer or consumer. It is about diesels don't have to conform to the same Fed EPA regs. Now you can sell more trucks w/o going over the upcomming fleet (remember this is fleet) 35 mpg law the EPA wants. Plus it gives consumers more options who don't want a bigger truck but may want the reliability of diesels. Just a thought, someone show me the EPA fuel milage posted on a diesel engine. This thread should be about the discussion of the possible benifits of a diesel in a TITAN.
