I agree that the 35i closed the gap, but the torque in this truck is amazing...I think the HP and torque might be underrated like it is in some of the other BMW cars....even if it isn't, the diesel is the way to go in these. We did see diesel that was 40+ cents higher than premium in some states on our way home from Spartanburg..NC in particular had posted on pumps a 26 cents a gallon state tax. Guess each state and metro area will be different. In North Texas its about 10-15 cents more than premium...about 3.29 right now...bottom line is no...diesel is the way to go..if diesel is $5 a gallon then premium will likely be north of $4.....so what...drive it and enjoy it!!!

I tanked up about 2 weeks ago (still have more than 1/4 tank left) and I paid $3.55 I think. Premium was $3.53 pr $3.54. There are a few stations on our main drag (Ventura Blvd) and they are asking $4.60/gallon for diesel. They're nuts, robbers!!!

Quicksilver will become famous soon enoughQuicksilver will become famous soon enough
I'm sure prices effect big rig drivers also but the thread was about diesel fuel prices and the decision to buy the 35d.
