Ouch... but in our beloved diesel's defense, I'd like to say that this mudhole didn't stand a chance

The EPA's regulation that brought on ULSD
is probably going to keep the price of diesel above gasoline
at least for the next ten years
so most of the economy per mile driven
has been taken away.

This could potentially change if we built plants to turn coal
into synthetic zero-sulfur diesel fuel (dimethyl ether)
but that does not seem likely
given other environmental opposition

doin the swap in a 2500 is different than a 1500. Your suspension will not support the motor.
