I am seeing more and more small and mid-size commercial trucks getting away from diesel. I am seeing more and more wreckers, delivery trucks, even ambulances with gas power. I saw an F650 today carrying lumber...it had a gas V10. Ten years ago, the gaggle of bread trucks behind a supermarket might have been 75-80% diesel. Now...other than a few old Entenmann's trucks (elderly GMCs with 6.5s), the vast majority have gas power. (Ford F59s, GM-powered Workhorses, Isuzu NPRs with Chevy power, and Ford and GM cutaway vans.)
Even UPS seems to be switching...I am seeing more and more new package trucks with gas engines.
