Opinions on diesel vs. gasoline

I spent the part of my career ashore in engine test labs in Detroit. Until then, I was running the engines of iron boats on the lakes. Without any doubt, I can tell you that the advantage most diesels have is the turbo-supercharger that makes altitude a big non-issue. Without that, there is only the slight gain in fuel economy. That is almost covered by the other maintenance costs.

I didn't tell you that I have owned diesel cars and trucks most of my life.
