There are two things I can't decide; gas or diesel and how old? Realistically, I won't be making any biodiesel so that isn't a factor. I figure with diesel prices so high and diesel at the pump being kind of hard to find she would be better off with a gas engine. I was thinking a mid 90's vintage would be good but I know very little about the various years and implications with each. Higher mpg good, speed is not a priority.

Let me know what you think, thanks!
