Well around my area about every 1 out of 5 gas stations don't carry diesel. So driving a diesel wouldn't be too bad. When gas prices rose to over $2 a gallon in Wisconsin, diesel was still $1.69 at alot of truck stops. Currently i'm looking towards purchasing a VW TDI car due that I can run it off biodiesel
. From everyone I've talked to the VW TDI's are really reliable and get great gas mileage....plus they have alot of power.
Alot of people don't like diesels cause they think they are loud, make alot of smoke and some think they are unreliable (due to the fact of those bad oldsmobile diesels made in the 80's) but actually I assume alot more diesels will sell in the future.
