Cummins vs duramax/powerstroke - Cummins is making the same, if not more power from 2 less cylinders and with better mileage.
I'd like to see the weight on these newer diesels though. If companies push for these kinds of breakthrough you will see diesel become cheaper than gas. Its like that nearly everywhere else in the world.

Ehhhhh...check the facts.
Duramax is a 6.6 V8. The new Cummings is now a 6.7 liter 6cyl, makes less power then the Dmax, and the Dmax is cleaner.
2 less cyls, but .1 more displacement. The new 6.4 Twin turbo Diesel Powerstroke is also behind teh Dmax.
