Last I checked diesel was $4.05 and gas was $3.70, thats a difference of $0.75,
so diesel is 20% more expensive than gas. Diesel fuel has about 30% more energy
than gas so you pay 20 to get 30.
In the Dodge pickup the difference is important, people will say the diesel is
$4000

I'm not sure why, as later models used an external microswitch to sense the

you wanted to.

Boy this one took a long time to show up in digest. It bugged me all the way
home since I knew I'd made an error. Obviously $4.05 - 3.70 isn't 0.75, its
0.35. Then on the way home I noticed gas was $3.55, so its actually $.50

Diesel is $3.70 - $3.80 here, same as premium gas.
However, the economics don't matter in most cases, Diesel rocks and gas
sucks. It's about the inherent superiority of Diesel technology over spark
ignited gasoline. Mechanical elegance and all that.

I can't say for sure but the forward speed under power is only about 35 mph.
If there is a flat spot ahead you can glide it in for a rolling landing on
the wheels. The airframe is pretty light so a vertical landing should be
like sport parachuting with the airframe absorbing much of the impact.
