The gas/diesel dispute has been going like that for a Century.
For few years gasoline engine made sense when diesel fuel was the most expensive fuel available.
Now in CA driving my 5-ton dually with diesel cost less in fuel than driving wagon on Premium.
It is hard to calculate side by side as the same Class A with diesel or gasoline engine don't exist, but roughly diesel engine save about 30% of fuel per volume.
At present time regular cost in CA about 25% more -what makes gasoline engine about 60% more expensive to drive.
In another words if you spend monthly $1000 to fill up diesel, you will spend $1600 to fill up comparable gasoline and you still get there later.
It is your money.
