Not all stations provide diesel fuel conveniently.
The added weight, because of the high compression, diesels need to be all cast iron (heavy!).
Then for us, at this stage, a toy hauler with a rear ramp is the way we want to go, so I do not think any type rp for us.

Most of this is "dated data". Diesels are as clean burning as gas engines now and maintenance is no more than a gas...actually cheaper. Diesel is available everywhere. Newer blocks are lighter, graphite iron and aluminum. The only reason to go diesel is for power and torque. When you need power...costs are secondary.
