That's what I was worried about with that direct injected twin turbo gas ford!! But is the fuel economy the same??

I don't think Chrysler offers any Diesels except for the Cummins trucks engines and maybe a small Diesel for the Jeep Liberty. As the cost of Diesel keeps rising as compared to gasoline and the need for the Diesel exhaust fluid adds further to the cost of ownership Diesel for small vehicles may completely come to an end. As Gasoline engines go to direct injection and dual mode, (spark ignition to compression ignition) the Diesel advantages will disappear.
