Just observation, unscientific, but who knows.

In the mid 1980's over 80% of the cars Mercedes sold in the USA were Diesel powered - this is why you see so many Diesel W123, W126 and W116 cars.
I've driven primarily Diesels for the better part of two decades but lately I've been replacing my Diesels with gas powered cars when its time to upgrade - I don't think there is any longevity benefit and with Diesel selling for 20-40 cents per gallon more than premium the economy benefits are mighty small.
