Benefits are longevity, better mileage, prob 20-25 maybe 30 mpg. Easy to get More Hp and TQ with bolt on upgrades. Diesels will push bigger tires easier than Gas motors, and get better milage at the same time than gas motors. Negatives are: little more noise, but on jeeps tires are usually loud anyway. Inital higher cost of the diesel, apx. 3-4k Option. A Diesel JK would be a better all around JK no matter what.

Every Semi on the road runs on Diesel, trains run on diesel, practically every piece of construction equipment run on diesel and many ships run on diesel, am I to believe there is no demand for diesel currently?
I'm not buying this. I am paying $2.99/gallon for my diesel right now. If the crude was had for a third of the price, wouldn't I at least be a few pennies less than gas?
Face it, it will stay expensive and get more expensive. Biodiesel is a great idea, so is ethanol, but I bet if we cut down all the trees to plant soybeans and corn, there still wouldn't be enough to go around.........
.....we could refine the fuel from a lower grade of crude oil which is much cheaper than the Sweet Light preferred for Gasoline production. Heavy and sour oils are trading on the markets for under $20 a barrel. Even with the slightly higher refining costs, it would still make for a better cost effective fuel. Also, many oil wells that have the less desirable grades are right here in the Americas.
