15 quarts of Motorcraft 15/40 oil and one oil filter for my diesel cost about $65.50.
7 quarts of Motorcraft 5/20 oil and one oil filter for my gasoline cost about $35.00
The difference in a diesel and a gas powered RV sitting in a campsite is the difference in the weight of the chassis and powerplant. One is a much heavier chunk of metal. On the road the difference is HP and TQ. Many diesels have less HP than many gasoline; many have more. Most diesels win in TQ. The heavier RV needs more energy to move it. Diesel wins hands down in the noise category; side by side and running the gas engine cannot be heard over the diesel engine noise.
