In the U.S. the major benefit to Diesel is torque. You should try comparing diesel and gas models as equally equipped as possible and see what the cost per mile is. I just bought a 2.5L Subaru Outback, if we had the 2.0L diesel version I would save about $500 over 100,000 miles. That's not great in my book. Would I buy a diesel Tacoma if one was available? Yes. So I'm a diesel fanboy, but the economics are closer than we think.
