[QUOTE="Roger Perry, post: 6082392, member: 1435"] Think you can buy a diesel version of the mid-size Dodge/Chevy Colorado but for most part regular vehicles are gasoline until you get to the larger pickups. Like you I thought small diesels would catch on, I bought 3 Jeeps all with Diesels over the years all traded now but around locally (the Grande Cherokee now has 325k miles and looks great) Several reasons I think why the diesel thing never took off...........cost of fuel, it varies but is more expensive at the pump..70cents more per gal currently. Climate, a lot of the country can be extreemly cold for several months, that means plugging in overnight...not always possible/hassle. Purchase cost is higher, servicing costs are higher compared to gasoline/petrol. The recent furor over VW/Audi diesels was the final nail..........they were sort of popular with owners who bought and liked them but all that evaporated with the emission scandle, most owners did the buyback thing, VW were forced to pay top book plus compensation.
