Choosing Gasoline or Diesel Powered?
I realize that this is a long thread but if you are pondering the Gasoline versus a Diesel based on power consideration or are wondering about adding an after market performance enhancing kit to a Gas...
Forum Discussion
There are numerous ways in which a Class A diesel is better that are unrelated to engine power or fuel economy. A diesel is capable of running many hundreds of thousands of miles. With good maintenance, a diesel engine will outlast several gas engines. A diesel chassis will usually ride smoother, handle better, be quieter and cooler up front. The diesel will generally have larger holding tanks, more basement storage, and higher carrying and towing capacities. It will likely have a more powerful aux generator and more or better amenities than a gas coach. So aside from the issues that have been discussed here of power, maintenance costs, fuel mileage etc., remember that comparing a diesel with a gasser is kind of like comparing a Cadillac with a Chevy. Both are good vehicles, but the Caddy offers more at a higher price.
