Diesel vs gas......................

I have read many ( to many ? ) posts related to gas vs. diesel - it would seem to me that most of the posts turn into a competition or vigorous justification/rationalization of why mine is best -- my current tow vehicle is powered by a 460 cubic inch banks assisted gas engine -- I have never needed/wanted more power when towing -- I have on occasion however wished i had purchased the diesel -- this usually happens when I am filling the fuel tank at a freeway super station of some sort & when the wildly fluctuating price of fuel favors the diesel owners -- it should be clear that both engines gas/diesel do a credible job when properly matched with the balance of the drive train -- most people woud probably be happy with either if properly matched to load -- key considerations would I believe be : single or multi use vehicle - weight - cost - m.p.g. -
most typical towing conditions - mountains , hills , flats , elevation , temp. miles towing vs.miles driving unloaded - I do not believe that either engine is clearly superior in all instances & at all times but rather both do a fine job
