Couple O'points
1) It usually does not pay to be a technology adopter on the front end of the curve, the version 2.2 is ALWAYS better. So hang around until small diesel engine trucks are routinely available. Talk to the iPhone folks about this, those who waited a year got a much better deal.

2) Off road diesel is duty free but not profit free, I have frequently found the price of off-road diesel at my agric co-op to be higher than that I could buy at the Speedway, in fact I no longer bother with the red stuff.

3) The notion that the backyard mechanic can on average do a better job of supplying fuel economy to a vehicle vs the original manufacturer is bogus, the vehicle market is fiercely competitive on fuel economy and manufacturers know that is one area they will be judged heavily on. They make their vehicles as fuel efficient as possible given the other competing factors the vehicle is judged upon (like acceleration for instance).
