True, but how many people in the 1500's forums pay for a 395 hp / 410 lb-ft 5.7L over a 305 hp / 269 lb-ft 3.6L knowing it will cost them thousands of dollars extra in fuel in the long run yet many here will question paying even less or the same amount in the long run on a 370hp / 800 lb-ft Cummins over a 383 hp / 400 lb-ft 5.7L in an HD? I don't see many(if any) debates in the 1500 froums on whether the 5.7L is worth the added costs, if you will get your money back in fuel, or if you really need one to tow yet it happens in the HD threads all the time.
I can guarantee that the average 1500 5.7L owner is probably paying more in total cost over 100k over a 3.6L owner than a HD Cummins owner is over 5.7L or 6.4L owner yet the diesel is the only one that gets questioned. It just boggles my mind just like why people spend $11k on a Laramie package without questioning it yet question an $8k diesel package that gets you better fuel economy and better performance.
