You're sure about the 265-hp? Doubt that, cause in Europe the X35d (called 3.0sd back here) got 286-hp and a torque of about 580nm. Would be strange if they gonna reduce power for the N.A. market...
Concerning Diesel prices I might give you an idea of where the journey goes to: filled up today and diesel is € 1,45 per litre, that makes it US-$ 2,28 per litre or US-$ 8,63 per gallon...
Within 6 months, prices of Diesel and Premium became equal, whereas before it was about 25% difference in favor for Diesel engines...
