[V8] 6.5 litre diesel?

[kneale at coslink.net]

Unless you NEED the torque for heavy loads and/or plan to drive your
vehicle a half million miles, the extra cost for a diesel engine and
today's high fuel fee make the diesel a noneconomic option.  Same goes for
hybrids unless your mileage is all under 50 mph.

Try looking at www.thedieselpage.com .  this is one of several very
informative sites devoted to the 6.2 and 6.5 GM diesel, or have extensive
sections devoted to them.

I had a wicked flirtation with the idea of having a GMC diesel Yukon 2-door
some years ago, and used to watch eBay for anything with a 6.5 litre diesel
and either a GM or Chevy badge.  

I love diesels, and would prefer to have one now, if only the cost of diesel
fuel wasn't so high in Maine as to make it impractical.  Even in a car like
a VW TDI, diesel fuel is so expensive that the added cost of the diesel
engine makes the exercise futile until a LOT of miles have passed.
