Runs Better On ULSD

My 04 305 555 seams to run quieter and smoother on this new ULSD?
Fuel economy down a bit though...and off course about 80 cents an imperial gallon more than regular gas.
If costs don't come down soon...I believe you will see a BIG slump in recreational diesel sales in the near future.
If you don't absolutely need a diesel...it just doesn't make sense anymore.

Once you tow with a diesel you'll never go back to gas.

I'll agree with that, especially at high altitude. Diesel just went from being 20 cents a gallon more than regular gas to 5 cents cheaper overnight around here. Before my Dodge I had a V10 Ford and I can't imagine going back.
