Choosing Gasoline or Diesel Powered?
I realize that this is a long thread but if you are pondering the Gasoline versus a Diesel based on power consideration or are wondering about adding an after market performance enhancing kit to a Gas...

I am picking up my Class A tomorrow.
I strongly considered a diesel. I drive a Dodge RAM 3500 w/Cummins diesel engine. I know the difference in torque and fuel mileage a diesel offers over a gas powered truck of the same size.
The DP that I considered would have required a loan. The V-10 equipped that I am picking up will be paid for in cash.
The DP had 45,000 miles and was 38' long and quite heavy.
The V-10 Class A has 14,500 miles and is 31' long and weighs 10,000 lbs. less than the diesel.
For $40,000 difference (not counting interest and slightly higher insurance and personal property taxes) I can buy lots of gasoline.
