Call Roger Penske. Detroit Diesel had a Durango at the Detroit
International Auto Show a few years back with a V6 diesel that they were
trying to push Dodge into offering. They had run the thing to Florida &
back and had gotten much better fuel mileage than the gasoline version
(can't remember the exact numbers, just that they were impressive). Dodge
was so upset at them that they had to display the thing OUTSIDE the show in
the lobby of COBO Hall.
