Gas 5.3L V8 vs Diesel 3.0L Duramax LZ0 Fuel Cost Comparison

A few months back I published a video contrasting fuel savings in the HD truck space between gas and diesel trucks. Many viewers requested the same comparison in the half-ton truck space featuring GM's 5.3L V8 EcoTec3 Gas L83 engine and GM's 3.0L I6 Baby Duramax Diesel LZ0 engine. Do you save money by switching to diesel over the long run? Or, do you end up spending more money with a gas truck vs diesel truck, especially with the fuel economy advantages inherent to diesel trucks? Is gas or diesel better? Watch along as I go through a spreadsheet with various scenarios to demonstrate. Your situation may be different than mine. In fact everyone's situation is unique to some degree, so here's a link to a simple calculator to run your own comparisons:
