Good info in the original post.

I do like the 4.5 liter diesel V8 idea. The rating is only at 350 HP, but the most important thing when it comes to real world driving is the 520 ft-lb torque--that's what you'll feel. And most of the time, peak horsepower will only be felt at the higher RPM's. Also, there will always be aftermarket parts to increase the horsepower rating. I've also heard that diesel engines are a lot more durable than regular, non-diesel engines. And I would gladly pay the extra price for diesel gas.
