Fuel is not as flammable when compared to gas. You can smoke around diesel but best not to around gas. In the winter, you can work in your garage which is heated by say a torpedo heater without as much worry if you are say draining your fuel system
Diesel used to be cheaper. Today, the cheapest is $2.63 while premium gas is $2.50 and regular is about $2.25. At that rate, Not sure if it will pan out or not. Might just become a wash which way you go. Yes, the mileage is higher but so is the cost of fuel. At some point, it will become a push.
