diesel is almost $4.50 a gallon here, im not sure it would be worth the diesel conversion, would be very different though, i bet if someplace makes a 50cc diesel, it would get really good mileage though.

You could always make your own biodiesel.

My father was a semi truck owner operator before retiring and ~1mill miles is expected between major rebuilds. Less than 800k miles would be considered poor lifespan.

That is not just the motor, its also including the transmission - yes, 1,000,000 miles on the factory trans! Amazing pieces of machinery, doesn't get much tougher.

I drive for a living and yes a long lifespan is expected.
