It took two drivers 25 days to go 8387 miles.
Please don't tell me they were going 14mph to get 83.52mpg. LOL

where it's cheaper than gasoline too.
That was true, here, once.
Except for some spikes in gas prices, any time I care to look diesel is more expensive. Maybe it's cheaper than gas elsewhere in the states.
Still, it's offset when the vehicle gets better/great mileage.

There are probably very few of the olds '80's Diesels still running..
That was his point.
Yes, GM's venture into diesel power for the consumer didn't go very well.
A co-worker had an 80's Cadillac Barritz (?) with a 350 diesel and it did not fare well at all. And they were very dirty back then. He was a right lane kind of guy, and when somebody tailgated, he'd hammer the gas pedal and with a cloud of soot and a hearty Ha Ha! Diesel! the tailgater was away.
He tried to sell the car when his dad passed, but nobody wanted it. So he traded it in on a Honda Civic, and once he got over the dealer's drubbing, he was very happy with the Civic.
