You might also add, that Diesel engines generate a much longer and higher power band, as well as more HP, 3 times more torq and they get much better mileage to weight, per gallon.
I have a Duramax with 230K and it runs like it did the day it came off the show room floor. Never had to tune it up or do anything to it but change oil & filters. And I have worked it hard as a tow vehicle. I only wish GM had not changed because I would never buy a new one from them now. I'm forced to make this one last and it is doing a great job of doing just that.

I agree! I own an Excursion with 200K. It has the 7.3 PowerStroke and I get 23MPG on the highway - and can carry all of my family, all our luggage and have even had two car seats and a booster seat (with the extended family included) and we were all still COMFORTABLE! Okay, we SAT comfortable! The NOISE levels were NOT comfortable - LOL!
