EXACTLY!! My friend has a diesel VW we drive from Illinois to Yellowstone Park - usually we split the price for gas - the last few years, it's been around $250 / each for the ENTIRE trip - including driving around the park, etc. Of course, this year, it will be more - but I LOVE her diesel car!
Right?? They're incredible and it's a rather prominent element in my life right now. I'm on vacation with my wife, son and two dogs. We road trip these days to our vacation spots because we can bring the dogs with and because we're not giving any money to the airlines.
The downside is that I drive a Durango RT with a big V8 and it's 1500 miles each way to our vacation spot. I get about 20 mpg, a far cry from that Diesel Volvo SUV I drove over in England : ( Was rather expensive to get down here and moreso when we drive back up in a week.
I remember as a kid, my dad got my mom a diesel sedan. I was perhaps 6 years old and my old brain can't remember back 40 years as to what make and model the car was. But it was awesome. Incredibly reliable and I remember at the time my mom was amazed at the gas mileage.
The ONLY downside was that we lived in Minnesota and we HAD to plug in the engine heater at night if we expected that thing to start in the morning.
