I think comments made by people like poster TLAK are a perfect example why diesels have never sold well in the USA. Comments made on mis-information, lack of accurate information in general, and little to no actual experience of owning one over time (and taking proper care of it).

Even my 1986 diesel Chevy mini-motor home on a 1/2 ton 4WD chasis gets 16.5 MPG which is pretty impressive for a mobile 4WD camper (that can also plow snow!)
