I noticed that diesel fuel was ten cents higher than premium the other day. No price advantage. The fuel might provide better mileage, but at a real cost. Most Saab owners are used to having power behind the pedal, something that diesel isn't know for. I drive from sealevel to over 7000 feet and I would hate to do that type of driving with a smoke blower engine. Or a Yugo.
