Diesel people are suffering from group cognitive dissonance. They are trying to rationalize what in hindsight feels like a poor decision.

I didn't make a poor choice my diesel hold its value better than gasser or hybrids

I bet the most common question an owner of a diesel car gets is "err.. why ?"

Diesel when I bought mine was 20 cents less per gallon

"uhh, well, because I *like* the smell of diesel.

modern diesels don't smell like older ones And it makes me feel good to know I pollute 5x more than just about anyone else.[/quote] granted it puts out more PM but its heavy PM that falls to the ground and gets washed away instead of causing acid rain

AND, I *only* paid a couple of grand more to get around 30 mpg in the city. Isn't that GREAT !?!"

I get 40-42 city and 46-49 hwy and thats real MPG not inflated computer #s and I always buy a car thats atleast 1-2 yrs old to save on intial hit

might remember a diesel gets close to the same MPG and has more torque without the assist of electric or engine off and has less engine problems and will last longer than a gasser even a hybrid gasser.
The meta one when introduced will SPANK a FEH in mpg / power / size / 0-60 and possibly emmissions.
might want to give diesel's a little more respect.
