That national average for today shows diesel is .32 cents more than regular gas.
With my old 34ft gasser with a 454 I was lucky to see 6mpg average.
With my 36ft DP I'm averaging just over 9mpg and the ride oooh my god the ride is soooo much better.
A lot of that is winter pricing. It will stabilize with summer.
