Welcome to our little corner of cyberspace! Say, could you put us onto where you got the confirmation? Is there a link we can go to read about this? Thanks.TitanIam said:Howzit,
My first post so 'hi' to all.
Nissan has confirmed that the TITAN will be out with a Diesel in late 2006. Has anyone heard if the same engine will be offered in the ARMADA?
Cheers,

I think we will see $80 per gallon before we see the Diesel Armada the rate gas prices are rising.RedSonja said:...What do you think?
The fact that you are consuming less fuel will make the difference. If we all made a 25% savings commitment the price of fuel will come down.dmarmada04le said:i can almost guarentee the diesel will have a $5k premium, minimum. Mileage will probably go from 15 mpg gas to 20 MPG diesel, at 15k miles a year @ $3.00 gallon equals a payback period of 6.66 years, not even considering the time value of money (which would probably move the payback closer to 8 years). Point is, unless you NEED, or WANT diesel for towing, or the "cool" factor etc, in todays world the monetary payback isnt there, unless you plan on keeping your Armada for at least 7 years or more. Once diesels become more popular or are priced in line with gassers, it will be a no brainer.
If you assume Diesel is 20% less per gallon then it's only a little over 4 yrs to recoup. Plus I would think the resale would be better? I'll start looking at the 08's if they come out in 07. As many problems as I've had with the 04 I'll let them experiment on someone else for a yeardmarmada04le said:i can almost guarentee the diesel will have a $5k premium, minimum.

That's satanic :temphot:dmarmada04le said:[email protected] $3.00 gallon equals a payback period of 6.66 years
Trying to rationalize the savings in cash terms is the downfall. This is where all get hung-up. Logically this is what makes sense to us. However, the focus needs to be on reduced fuel consumption and not on what that immediate saving in reduction will get us.inf3rno said:yes even tho payback is right away what he meant was that it takes up to 6 years before you "actually" start saving on gas. 1st you have to make up all the money you spent extra on the diesel engine, then you will see the saving![]()
