3. I would rethink using the criteria of "miles per gallon" as your primary concern. For me, the cost or mpg of rving is not a concern. Rving has some basic costs that can't really be regulated. If I worry about the cost of fuel then I stay home until I have sufficient $$$ to make the trip. Yes I do try to get the best price for my diesel:)
4. After you select your truck, really consider replacing your stock fuel tank with a larger auxiliary diesel fuel tank to give you greater degree of choices on where to buy the best diesel price. Auxiliary fuel tanks are not available for Gas engines. I have a 60 gal. tank:)

Would you please expand on your comment on aux gas tanks? If installed and plumbed properly, i don't think you will be able to come up with documentation concerning them not being available and/or being used.

The biggest issue is with gravity-fed aux tanks. TransferFlow has a whole page of stuff about this, including some regulation citations. It =is= a grey area all across the board, but it seems to vary state-to-state, with some states virtually banning any gravity-flow aux tanks, even though on a Fed level, it =may= be legal. Moot point if you have a separate "nurse" tank, with a pump and delivery handle, but that's not what most of us look for with an aux tank; we just want to flip a switch and fuel on the fly, when possible.
