it would help if you specified what Diesel vehicle youre talking about.

example: VW Golf TDI (1.9L Turbo Deisel) i believe gets 45-50 MPG HWY

eather.

A: it doent really matter becouse you dont buy a heavy truck to get good gas milage or

B: they knew from looking and or talking to you that you wont buy one anyways so where just trying to get rid of you.
