Is that shockingly high for > the fuel with 30% more energy? Actually, that should have been 0.28 / 3.51 = 8%, only a little different. Today, unleaded was $3.339 and diesel was $3.959. Diesel is 18.6% more expensive than regular gas. Premium unleaded was $3.539. We use that in our '95 E320, which gets 25 MPG. Diesel at $3.959 we use in our '82 240D/3.0, which gets 23 MPG. So the cost for a mile of fuel for the E320 is $0.14156 and the cost for a mile of fuel for the 240D/3.0 is $0.17213, 21.6% more expensive. Besides, I need to find the delivery valve seals for the 240D/3.0's injection pump and replace them before I hook the fuel line back up to the fuel pump....
