Depends if you are comparing pre-electronic gas v.s. diesel. And the leaded gasoline era v.s the unleaded fuel era. Anyone remember 5.7 Olds diesels and 6.2 Chev diesels?
Until the mid 1980's it was the norm to find gasoline powered vehicles in the shop with worn engines requiring an overbore.

Have a look under the hood, the distributer is disappearing and there is a separate coil for every plug or two. Even if equiped with a distributer. It's nothing to go 50,000 miles on a cap and rotor.
Those diesel pumps and injectors begin to wear from hour 1 as well. Plus which engine suffers worse if a batch of wrong to polluted fuel is dumped into the tank?
