I'd say I'm very close to paying off the diesel. I also get better than 10 MPG when I'm towing.
I'm sure I have paid off the difference with 201,000 on my odo, but I don't care. The difference in towing with the diesel makes it all worthwhile regardless of the cost difference. And I get 12.0 mpg +/- 0.5 mpg depending on the trip towing my fifth wheel. I tow at 60 mph and do not try to set a drag strip record when accelerating.
