Different way of looking at it.

RT Concord NH to Salt Lake City UT
Miles--Driven----MPG----Price/Gal---Total Cost
Gas----4693-------7--------2.1-----------$1,407.90
Diesel-4693------11--------2.45---------$1,045.26

True but then figure in the cost of buying the diesel over buying the gasser and it would take many more miles than the average rver will drive to make the diesel cheaper to own. Then figure in the increased cost of maintaining the diesel and you will never make the diesel cheaper to drive. It boils down to preference and your budget.
OK except now show me what model diesel pusher gets 11MPG???
when i talk Class A DP I mean 3-4 slides 40+ feet and 400+HP
VERY VERY few if any diesel motor homes of any make or model loaded up no matter will never get 11 MPG average
