I have the stock tank plus 45 gallons in the bed. It has nothing to do with not stopping, I still stop about every 3 hours to streach my legs, use the restroom and walk the dogs. I dont even have an issue refueling with the RV connected.
I bought the extra capacity to bypass the more expensive states/areas along my travels. I always look at fuel prices before I hit the road and within reason find the best places to stop. Currently I can fill for 3.209 a gallon locally with a discount card. I did just that before taking my 5er to the dealer for warentee work in West Chester, PA. And all through MD and PA diesel was 3.499 to 3.549 along the entire path I traveled. So just in that run along I was able to run without refilling and over time its saved me money.
Even doing it this way for my Annual vacation to central FL in the winter, I can save between 15-25c a gallon by planning my stops and save 50-60 bucks over that single trip.
