Diesels run at a lower RPM and make their torque in a tighter range. This translates to a smoother, more quiet drive, and the power is there when you want it. The better fuel economy makes up for...

Only two reasons I can think of. On my GD if you overfill you will start a siphon effect that will drain a 1/4 or more of the stupid tank.
