Just looked at gas buddy and diesel is currently 2.61 gallon and gas is 2.71 gallon. My Silverado averaged 14.5 mpg over the year I had it. My 2014 cummins has averaged 20 mpg over the last year. I put approximately 25k miles per year on a truck. At that rate I would use 1724 gallons of gas and 1200 gallons of diesel for a cost of $4672 and $3132 for a savings of 1540 per year. I change my oil every 15k pee my owners manual for $80. My local Chevy dealership charges 45 bucks per oil change every 7500 miles. That's a wash. I have my time in changing it but I also use a lot better oil than the dealer. My truck brand new was 4,000 more than a similar equipped 1500 silverado would have cost me. My return of investment would be 2.61 years. If I keep my truck the 5 years it's under warranty I would save about 3k bucks not to mention the higher resale value and increased capabilities to tow anything I want no questions asked. The numbers don't lie. Diesels have came a long way in the last 2 years overcoming the epa regulations.
