Whhhhhhaaaaa.
You are joking right?
Lets do some math:
Smart fourtwo (whatever it is) 42 mpg.
60 mpg diesel.
Lets go with some easy numbers here, $2.50 a gallon for unleaded, $2.75 for diesel.
cost per mile (unleaded): $.06 per mile
cost per mile (diesel): $.045 per mile
Assuming roughly 12K miles per year:
unleaded: $720
Diesel: $540
That may not seem like a whole lot, but leave unleaded at $2.50 a gallon and jack diesel up to $3.60 a gallon and you will spend the same in fuel driving the same distance.
Sorry to take it out on you, but this topic got me somewhat angry.
