Up here in Alberta and using the GAS BuDDY app...I can find good quality # 1 for $ 0.93/Litre

Gasoline is running anywhere from $ 1.13 - 1.19 per litre.

3.78 Litres to a US Gallon...

Have not seen Diesel pricing like this in a LOoooong time and most welcome I must say.!!
Ya gotta love it.!

Depends on the climate you live in as well. I live in Canada where it can dip to below -40C. Its all well and good if you have a heated to garage to park in but without it... you better plug it in at the very least and not shut it off once its running. Also the newer ones you need to add DEF which is kind of a pain.

Well Gee, guess what, I found a study that says just the opposite. If you drive a diesel Volkswagen Jetta well you can save a few thousand dollars. You drive diesel pickup truck, well you diesel guys may not want to read this.
Diesel Executive Summary
Diesel Analysis

The elements behind the data

By the way, here is your 2013 U of M Study which basically says the same thing and cites Vincentric as the source. Real U of M Study not some generic write up about it

Anyone using a Jetta to pull their RV?
