Would you buy diesel again?
Those of you that have a newer diesel truck, 2015 and up, would you do it again?

Hi Kayteg1,
I have had the exact opposite experience. My diesel class C had minor and sometimes major issues on most trips. Average cost was $0.37 per mile for maintenance. That was not counting tires, brakes or other "consumable" items.
My current gas class C has had one mass air flow sensor replaced in over 110,000 miles.

As I said, I am still buying diesels with not too many drive miles out if sentiment, but over the decades I did it, I saved tens of thousands dollars doing so.
If you drive a lot, grab a pen and paper and calculate total cost to drive 300,000 miles in the same truck comparing diesel to gasser.
Diesel will always win hands down even in times when price gouging makes the fuel more expensive than gasoline.
