The difference in cost of a diesel and gasoline equipped
vehicle is $368.53.
The question then is, do the economics of diesel justify
the initial capital cost? Assuming 25,000 miles per year,
per vehicle, price of gasoline $1.30 per gallon and diesel
$1.10 per gallon; and miles per gallon -15 for gasoline and
18 for diesel, the potential savings will be:
Gasoline:
25,000 . 15 mpg =
Diesel:
1,666.67 gallons
x 1.30
$2,166.67
25,000 L. 18 mpg = 1,388.89 gallons
x 1.10
$1,527.78
$2,166.67 cost for gasoline
1,527.78 cost for diesel
$ 638.89
In addition, we can anticipate approximately $150 per unit
savings in shop maintenance costs. The savings then in the
first year will be greater than the difference in the initial
price of the diesel powered vehicle.
It is recommended that we order the following:
6 - 1982 Chevrolet Impala station wagons - Model 1 BL 35
350 cu. in. diesel engine
3 speed automatic transmission
Power Steering
Power Brakes
Air Conditioning with manual temperature control
Heavy Duty Suspension
California Emission Equipment
Tinted Glass - Complete
Outside Left and Right Hand Remote Control Mirror
Vinyl Side Moldings
Heavy Duty Battery
Color - White
