Decisions....Gas or Diesel

I've owned diesels my entire life. Well the component costs may be higher, theyve been far less maintenance intensive than any gas vehicle I've owned. Really that becomes a wash after a while. The biggest question is, do most people need a diesel? The answer is probably not.

I agree most people don't need a diesel, I don't but when I was racing a lot I did. I changed my diesels oil every 3000 miles, my gas burner every 6000 miles. 16 quarts for the diesel and 7 for the gas burner. Both my diesel trucks would wear the tires out faster than my gas burners, not to mention they are hard on front suspension components.

It all depends on what one needs or wants. If you're comfortable with the additional buy in costs, fuel cost, maintenance and tires by all means go for it. Both my brothers have diesels one uses his trucks on the farm and the other in his business so both can be written of their taxes.
