Ok....

Price aside as it seems they end up costing the same one way or another, either in servicing or in petrol.

So...someone mentioned the US. I know of JK Expeditions in the US, they do the MOAB etc all with petrol wranglers as diesel is not available showing the petrol is a great performer. Then you get the few that stick a 500+ HP 6.1 Hemi v8 which = performance but of course at a huge fuel expense.

So my question is, if Diesel was available in the US, would the MOAB etc that JK Expeditions do, be 'easier' ?

What I am trying to gauge, as a purely off road vehicle, what is more capable, mud, rock crawling etc, diesel or petrol? Which is the better performer?
