I beg to differ. This is why, IMO:
The 617s get better fuel economy simply because they do not need to burn as much fuel as the 110.
The 617s are built in higher tolerances and can also sustain the added stress of the higher compression ratio.
The 617s do not have an ignition system so you will never have to tune them up.
The 617's exhaust systems last longer because diesel fuel exhaust is not as corrosive a gasoline engine exhaust.
And I'm sure there are many other rasons as well....
That 280CE is indeed very nice... but young Stewie, your opinion is unsubstantiated as a whole.
One single case (from your brief experience so far, you're only 15 right?) should not reflect the generalized comparison statement you just made.
