Checking if anyone as penciled out the payback on upgrading to a PSD? Currently runnin '03 V-10, curious if the payback would be there for the higher initial cost of the diesel over the V-10?

It has been talked about before.

It all depends on how long you plan to own it, and if you want to consider the increased resale value of the diesel. I have the PSD, it is my first diesel, and I will never go back. Of course shortly after I bought it in November of 03, the price of diesel leap frogged gas and has been higher ever since. I get 16 mpg in town and almost 20 on the highway. That sure beats the 11 I got in both modes with my last gasser.
