I think I made the right choice. I ran 80 MPH the whole way home and
you couldn't tell it was a diesel. It ran really smooth. My mileage so far isn't that good. 21.9 MPG so far and most was on the highway...

Don't worry about the mileage yet...part of it is due to the new engine needed breaking in and part of it is due to the time of year you picked it up ( dead of winter ). At this time the diesel in this part of the country is usually mixed with number 1 fuel to lower the pour point which it does but the other side of the coin is when you mix it with 1 you don't get the mileage you do in the summer with straight number 2 fuel. You will see your mileage increase later on due to the break in and the 2 fuel.
