Anybody towing with a late model gasser?

More of the exception being the norm here. Most modern day diesels in 3/4 applications are 320hp+. So the HP numbers game isnt as stacked as you make it out to be and actually your illustrations do prove the point that gassers have to rely on high hp to overcome the lower torque produced by the shorter stroke and other contributing variables of gas engines. Lower torque = less time in lockup and less time in lockup = decreased mpg and increased wear.

This is the life of a gasser. Modern techno is getting there with gassers and the gubment is dead set on ensuring diesel fails due to exhaustive restrictions, but for now the dominant force for towing is diesel by a mile. Go buy that $40,000 gasser and watch me roll on by in my old mechanically controlled 12 valve...smiling cos Im safer, faster, and getting better mileage.

lets not forget...total cost of ownership is higher in gas than it is diesel as well.

Go to any cattle farm that has an ounce of credibility and ask em what they tow with. Then give em your torque HP speach and see if they exchange their fleet of diesels for gas.
