You could contact the site advertisers, they might have some info for you.

Are you looking for total dollars spent, or what the average Diesel owner spent?

And you also must realize there will be two cost figures.

Actual costs,.....and the dollar amount that we told the Wife we spent.

Talk to the after market dealers and tell them what you are doing they may be willing to give you the info. They should be able to query the data assuming they are using a decent soft ware package.

Someone must keep the total as I read it a few years back. Best to contact one of the organizations that conducts the yearly trade shows.

Try here http://www.aftermarket.org/Home.asp

Heck you could setup a poll here on the website and get your questions answered by the people spending the money.
