didnt say that. comparison was used gas vs new duramax. used duramax obviously will be less than new. but if YOU EVEN THINK OF EVER GOING TO BAJA and getting out into BFE, plan on bringing drums of diesel fuel with you! we have had to use t-shirts to strain gas out of 55 gallon drums via hand crank pump to get fuel before.

the days of pulling up to airstrip in baja and getting AV gas are long over due to every drop of AV gas being accounted for and signed off to "N" number on fueselage of plane due to drug running. airstrips that sell AV gas are checked weekly by federales for fuel sales. example (1) plane takes on 100 gallons and airstrip has 1000 gallons week before, airstrip BETTER have 900 gallons the next time federales show up to check!!!

dura maxes are great engines for stateside towing, but when in baja it can really ruin your day trying to find diesel.
as far as buying anything new................sure if you want to pay killer insurance, killer taxes, killer reg. tags/plates etc. if you only use it a few times a year............i'll go with used anyday save the bucks and dump it into porsche!
