Oh boy: You've turned a perfectly reasonable thread into a gasoline vs. diesel religious war! Can I play? Let's see: I am a gasoline guy and always will be cause' [sic] gasoline engines tend not to stink the place up so much, gasoline engines tend to start and run more reliably (in my experience), gasoline engines run more smoothly and are much quieter, gasoline isn't quite as susceptible to fungus and turning to jelly as is diesel, and, last but not least, I understand and am completely comfortable with gasoline engines--diesel not so much.
