I understand the B10 and B50 numbers, and I wouldn’t dispute that most (90%) gas engines make it to or past 200k miles before needing a major overhaul. Nor would I dispute there are a lot of gas engines out there with 300-350,000 miles on them—although I would say that’s relative to the number of them that came out of the factory.
What I WOULD dispute though is under the same conditions (driving style, maintenance, and especially towing heavy loads) that the average gas engine will last as long or longer than the average diesel.
