Hi LandYacht35diesel,

I've had both. The diesel got slightly better mileage--but the cost was higher because additives needed to be used in every tank of fuel. (Diesel is cheaper than gas in Canada).

The diesel was old from 1987. I once had it freeze to the ground in the storage yard--and it would not "break free". I had many mechanical issues with the diesel.

I've had one issue in 150,000 miles on my current gas V-10.

The 1987 cost about $0.25 per mile for maintenance. Parts were becoming hard to find.

The V-10 has had one mass flow air sensor. I've owned it since 2009. It is a 2004.

I'd never consider diesel again.
