Insignificant? Oh really? Where is the data to back this up? Here is mine and this was even with pre-DEF trucks that got worse fuel economy and had shorter oil change intervals than 2013+ post DEF trucks.....
Under a grand difference after 100k is insignificant in a 50k truck...
If i was saving 5 to 10k it may be a strong argument for me to live with the extra work a diesel would be for me... and the diesel rattle that comes with it...
Bottom line... it comes out close per your data... so it comes down to what a person wants...and needs
Not everybody wants a cummins when a hemi will do... and i grew up around diesels all my life... believe me i wanted to justify that diesel... price was not a factor for me... im keeping the truck till it breaks apart...
the hemi drove better for me... and powerwagon came in hemi only... if i buy a 5th wheel i may go diesel again... but that will be a decade or so from now
