I had a recent argument with B&D about this, and stand by what I said. Hp for HP, a turbo diesel will outdo a NA gas. B&D claims hp is all that matters which is untrue on so many levels. In my opinion, a gas with more torque and hp than the diesel engine your comparing it to will outdo that diesel all day long. Fuel economy is another matter, given the extra energy in a gallon of diesel. The thing that I think will be a game changer, and has already shown to be, is direct inject turbo charged gas engines. Namely the 3.5L Eco-boost, it has direct inject, turbos and a toruqe curve with 370+ft.lb of torque from 1500-5100rpm, peaking at 420ft.lb. This isn't the gas engine that B&D brags about having 380ftlb of torque at 4400rpm and 360 hp at 5500 rpm. Who tows a trailer all day long at 4500 rpm and had a transmission left after 3 hours. Those hp and torque numbers are worthless if they aren't in a place you can reasonably run the truck at.

Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
