I skimmed the posts below so if someone already covered this I apologize.

Gasoline is a really good solvent (thats why some use it in the parts washer and clean their hands with it etc.) Unfortunately however, that gasoline also tends to wash down the walls of the cylinders. This takes away some of the lubricating principles of the oil and causes rings to wear sooner. Diesel on the other hand has a high sulfur content which works really well as a lubricant. This tends to be what allows diesels to operate longer before a rebuild than a similarily equipped gas engine.
