Trying to decide which to get - between Toyota, Ford, GMC. Toyota

$8K more than the gasser. The diesels get better mileage, supposedly,
but diesel
also costs more.

Any ideas out there?

Don't buy into that E85 Flex fuel bull**** from Dodge and GMC. The fuel
economy drops at roughly the same percentage as the fuel savings. In
the end you just fill up more often.

My mechanic told that you really need to fill up with the 93 octane gas
to overcome all of the crap they put into fuel these days to make it
more fuel friendly.

Diesels last a long, long time and have a ton of torque. You don't need
the torque unless a 30 footer is in your future!

Toyota sells diesel-powered pickup trucks in Europe. There have been
rumors that it would also sell them in the USA.

Every manufacturer sells diesel powered cars and trucks outside the USA.
Including the Ford focus. 60-80 mpg. But the EPA says they are too dirty
to sell here. How much difference is the pollution per mile? Can not be
much different when you are getting 2-3x the milage.
