Diesel or Gas in North america

With the cost of diesel raising and the cost of gas falling will more customers in North America look to GAS as an alternative , especially when you dont have to take into account the new regs that mean any truck over 55KW has to use add blue. to start with
so working on a 36 hour week based over 48 week

a 7,000kg forklift working on this pattern would cost $11,612 to run on diesel the same on gas is $7,091.

a 10,000kg - 16,000kg working on the same pattern would cost $15,969 to run on diesel the same on gas $10,264

a laden container handling Reach stacker working on the same pattern would cost $23,224 to run on Diesel the same on gas $14,904

Showing there is quite a bit of saving to be made by running on Gas if you run double or triple shifts the savings become greater
