If you want to compare diesels with gassers, comparing normally aspirated gassers with turbocharged diesels is a waste of time. Stick some sort of blower on a gas engine and fuel consumption aside, the differences become much less apparent.
Well a turbo charged diesel can still get about 12 mpg towing 11,000# at 60 to 65 mph. Try that with a tubroed gas engine more like 8 mpg if lucky.
I like my diesel as good mileage, long engine live, low maintenance, and lots of power.
That's why I said, fuel consumption aside.
