Benefit of extra fuel tank.
I just went 1237 miles between fuel stops. I towed for about 600 hundred of those miles. I've got an extra 90 gallons in the truck bed. With rising fuel prices it's nice to avoid the gas station.

Then again, apps like GasBuddy can lead you to the most affordable gas station, which coincidentally, are seldom right off the interstate. Last October, I saved a buck a gallon by driving 1.5 miles further into town, lol where the locals bought their gas.
Not always so easy when your overall length is 67'.
At the end of a long day of towing that's the last thing I want to do is get fuel. Most times I don't unhook when spending one night like tonight at the Elk's Campground.
Sure I pay more but honestly those days of tripping over every dime have long passed!!!
