I drove from Slidell, LA to Perryvile, MO on a tank of fuel empty driving Mach 1 in a 3/4 ton diesel. It took $98.00 to fill the truck. Buddy took the same trip and he filled up in Memphis and in Perryville...bout $85 each fill. I believe I'm ahead in fuel cost.

I'll take my stump yanking, rattlin, 19.5 mpg average on my 1 ton diesel anyday over a toy that runs on gas. Running 65 with my chip in it its closer to 23.....and at 90 mph its closer to 16mpg.

I've been burning diesel trucks for 9 years and I'll never own another gas truck. PERIOD. The fuel/gas cost is about the same, but the diesel gets better milage, tows more, and runs forever.

Of course what do I know. I own a four stroke boat motor that I'm still not ahead with at $3.15/gallon premium fuel.
