thanks for all the info. I ask b/c my employer is moving towards all gas engines in the 3/4 ton company trucks. this has caused some unhappy drivers who want to stay with diesel. company believes operating costs will be lower with the gas engines.
That aside, the debate over the decision degenerated (as most debates usually do) into a pissing contest amongst the group about superchargers and fuel econlmy. thus my inquiry.

Upfront cost and lifecycle operating costs will be lower with the gas with fuel prices as they stand today. Not debatable.
Adding super chargers wouldn't be cost effective either. You'll loose fuel mileage because people will drive them like company trucks. It costs a lot to install them. Youll break more driveline stuff. You might tear the engine up. It goes on and on

6.2 is a great engine if you're talking Ford
