If you stay 100% on major interstate highways then 30 gallons is enough. With my diesel truck when hauling or towing I get at best 13.5 MPG and with strong winds that drops to 9-10 MPG. My 36 gallon tank provides me with 300 miles of range in those conditions. My trip in June will have two legs where I need to go 265 miles between towns with a gas station that sells diesel.
With greater range I can make more side trips without worrying about running out of fuel, and with diesel repriming is not a fun task and not something I want to be doing on the side of the highway.
There are more fuel tanks made and larger capacity tanks available for longbed trucks. If fuel capacity is important a shortbed truck should be avoided.
