[A/S] Gas Vs Diesel - a personal choice



Seems right to me Stephen.  This is why I cannot justify a diesel to 
myself.  I am trading in my 2000 on a 2002 beefier truck, but the 
2000 has under 14,000 kilometers on the clock.  This is typical of my 
driving habits, as I spent my life travelling, and now only go 200 to 
300 miles from home.  My last stint with my career, prior to 
retiring, I had to go twice around the world per year for the three 
years I was there.  I no longer get that thrill when I set out on the 
road.  I feel rather the - oh my, here we go again, blahs.  I like to 
get there, but I don't love the trip.  A diesel would last me about 
two hundred years, unless there is another surprise involved, that 
says they have to be driven to last.  Hahaha.  That would be my luck 
if I got one.  It would wear out in five years from LACK of use.
