Buying my Hemi WAS a good idea
When I first became a diesel owner (2003 or 2004), diesel was almost always 10-15% cheaper than regular unleaded where I live. Then came ULSD, and the economy moved on. Diesel became the same price...

Today's big gassers have just as much "pulling power" as the diesels.
How many big gassers carry around forced induction at altitude?
Your flatlander statement isn't 100% valid for everyone.
You make a good point but I have to ask. How much power is lost with the altitude? Remember that today's big gassers are making 20% more power then the last generations of force fed diesels and have more gears to choose from. We have to ask ourselves sometimes, how much power do "I" really need? If the OP's 3 gen Cummins did all he needed then why wouldn't a gas motor with 20% more power do? How much towing is really done in the high altitude? If they live there then most likely people will leave to to go RVing. If the don't live there then they usually only visit.
Like said earlier, it might not work for 100% of the people in this world but I doubt there is even 10% of the people in this world that ever see high enough elevation with their tv to even notice a difference in power. I very rarely even use all the power my engines can produce and I would say there are a lot of poeple that can say the same thing.
Your stuck in your little flat lander world. Come out West sometime and try pulling 12k+ lb around with a gasser... Peak HP doesn't mean squat.
