One, the price of diesel fuel is about .60 more than gasoline; two, diesel options with their stronger axles and transmissions costs a lot more; thus, not logical in this day and age. In addition, like I have been trying to say, why wish for something that probably will not happen due to market research; at least at this time.
You have a small minority of people on this forum, which in itself is a very small minority of H3 owners, who want diesels. I prefer a V8 for possible better fuel economy, more torque, and more power for pulling a trailer, if required. Also, easier to find fuel. As 3Hummer stated, service stations where he lives are doing away with diesel, same here. Some are converting their diesel pumps to E85 (a wasted product, but that is for another discussion). So, it appears if I need diesel in a month or two, I would have to drive approx. 10 miles out of my way to get fuel. Great money savings....

Thanks for taking the time to google more stuff for us. Not to pick too much, I don't google because they store their searches indefinitely. What that means yet, who knows, just going with my gut. Actually, I use MSN search...google sucks, in my opinion, but it has become a work.
Spend a day searching? More like fifteen seconds. C'mon, you think I'm that involved in this krap? It would appear that you've spent a lot more time than that, I appreciate the effort.
OK, so it's not a GM company so much anymore. Big deal. The engine's made in Ohio still right? At this time, the present 6.6L is made in Ohio. But, will this change in 2010?

Like I said before, if people don't say what they want, they'll be stuck with what they get.... period. Then get about 50K people to write GM about a diesel, but again I say, marketing research at this time says a diesel, in this market is not something GM wants to invest in. Will this change? Sure it can change, people are finicky, so next year's market research might say a diesel is a good idea.

It's my guess that you're not done talking about diesels yet.....

Now I am since I see nothing else to add. If everyone wants to wish, or dream, who am I to destroy their dreams. If enough dream and write letters to GM asking for a diesel, then possibly their dreams will come true. Hell, I keep dreaming of winning the Megamillions with every ticket, but then I'm logical enough to know it will not happen, and my five dollars a week is at least going to support schools.
