Notice the location. his 95.9 price is the per litre price. That is why it threw you off. On a per gallon basis, he is paying roughly $3.62 a gallon.

That is still cheap to most of the rest of the world.
I've been up in some very remote areas of Canada for the last 11 days. On average Diesel has been $3.86 per gallon while 87 octane has been $4.39. Funny thing is I don't see many diesel trucks here. I'm driving my 06 F350 and my buddy is in a 08 Dmax 3500. We traveled 4 hours to a decent town, 7000 population, and I counted 300 gas trucks on the drive before seeing another diesel. We then went to 3 stores, grocery, Walmart, and Canadian Tire and we saw 2. The hotel I'm at, a Holiday Inn Express has 1 in the lot and it's from Kansas. I would say around Indiana 20% of the trucks are diesel but up here it's less than 1%. Makes me nervous buying fuel wondering how long it's been in the ground? Chris

Are you sure? The Cdn $ is $.76 US and the US gallon is 3.7854 litres.
There isn't an advantage to driving an emissions diesel. Pay more up front to purchase, pay more for fuel and pay more for maintenance. Then there are the problems with diesel winter starting and gelling diesel fuel. Since the introduction of the direct injection gasoline engines. The gassers are every bit as efficient or better at turning a btu of energy into mileage as an emissions diesel
