Hi Papa O,
There appears to be some Questionable Stuff and BS:
"and the MPG is about double for a diesel"
THE biggest exaggeration I have ever read on any B forum!

Bud, if you're basing this on the previous post I made please note that I said it was an assumption. But I don't think it's far off based on my experience. My previous gas B got 11.5 MPG and I have friends who have a Sprinter B that gets 22. That's pretty close to double.
You can run some other scenarios with lower MPG ratios and fiddle with the price differences, but in almost all cases the costs come out about the same for gas vs diesel.
I do fully agree that the biggest determining factor in purchase is the floor plan though.
