Out of curiousity, isn't diesel more expensive than premium? Here in Leesburg VA, for today, one local outlet is selling premium at 3.75 per gallon and 3.89 per gallon for diesel.

Factoring in MPG for X1 vs the CX-5, at the end of the day, would the CX-5 come out cheaper than the X1? Do you really get that much more value for diesel than premium? I'm not an expert on engines, but from a performance perspective, I had read that in general, diesels are not as "peppy" ? Or has technology gotten to the point where diesel engines are now on-par with turbo?

Just wondering! Thanks, Vince.
