Its a no brainer, if you use your equipment a lot at todays fuel cost it is "diesel"

I call it the 10% difference. Spark ignition engines are only 25% efficient, Diesel or compression ignition are 35%+
With bio diesl fuel comming on line in most places in a few years and the fact more than likly going to be subsidized for farm use it is the only economical choice is diesel. But if this a big playtoy it really makes little deference.

Just an example: I cut a spot with a brush hog with 800 ford gas 25 gallons gas.
Same spot same mower 2000 ford comparable size Diesel engine 12 gallons diesel.
Thats the difference cash at todays price lets say $2.00 = $26.00 in my pocket that money spends just as well for me as it does for Exxon
