Which is more economical? Diesel costs more, but supposedly gets better gas mileage. Anyone have both and find one more economical over the other?

I have owned both with the same trailer.
The gas got 9 to 10 towing my trailer.
The diesel got 12 to 13 towing the same trailer.
Where I live, the diesel comes out waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay on top. When I travel over the country, the diesel comes out waaaaaaaaaaaaaay on top.
As far a maintenance goes "my" diesel edged out the gas (cost less) by a small amount.
You have to pick the "right" diesel to come out on top though. Pick the wrong one and you will get buried in cost.
