Hi Hammerboy,
My diesel class c cost, on average, $0.25 cents per mile over a 9 year period. My V-10 costs about $0.05 cents per mile over a 10 year period.
This was for all maintenance expenses.
There were no "major" repairs to either. (crossing my fingers)
That's a big range between the two if we are talking just engine maintenance. When I say slightly I am referring to for example $100 for an oil change with a tire rotation (GM dealer) as I always do both at the same time, that's not high in my book. So over the long haul that is a small expense over years I've had my truck. Maybe in the Motorhome world gas vs diesel has a much bigger range but with pickups I thinks it's much narrower.
