I see from 20% to a 30% cost difference meaning any oil burner I buy has to have that at a minimum over the gas burner in mileage.
In truth it is going to have to have over that, so if diesel is 30% more than gasoline I want 40% better mileage. If you factor in the fact that the initial cost will be higher as well that 10% requirement is justified, hell it might be giving points to diesel it doesn't deserve.
I figure that series hybrids - like the upcoming volt - will either make diesel worthwhile if they use a diesel to regenerate the batteries or make them moot if they continue to use gasoline or other fuels to regenerate the battery
