I am stuck with the GM 36 gallon tank for my diesel truck as I don't want to mount an auxiliary tank in the bed for a number of reasons. That provides an effective range when towing or hauling a heavy load of roughly 320 miles. The majority of gas stations do not pump diesel so I have to travel further between fuel stops.
A significant part of my trip planning in the west is in locating places that sell diesel fuel ahead of time. I often stop to get diesel when I find it even with half a tank remaining as it is easier and less stressful than making it to the next town that is large enough to have a place to buy diesel. This is slowly changing as more diesel sedans are being sold by the manufacturers but it is still a problem.
