Interesting result that gas has 63% of the vote over diesel.
I figure most don't need a big diesel to pull their RV.
Gas is cheaper most of the time and the mileage is about the same.
Here in Arizona the diesel price just fell below the cost of regular gasoline by 10 cents per gallon. It has been many years since I've seen that.

It would seem there are at least 25% more towing with Gas vs Diesel..

That's really great news. In my part of Texas regular unleaded is under $3.00 per gallon while diesel remains high at $3.79.
