The gear ratio is different since diesel has about 50% more torque. For a full tank the range on mine is 650KM and cost US$11 for 55ltrs.

That is true, we do not have diesel option. Would be nice to but the refineries are paying into the automakers so they have to keep making gas models. 55 litres in canada would could me today $60.
