80 gallon transfer tank & 40 gallon in the truck. I use gas buddy, check price along my route, and fill when I find a good price. $2.88 today and $3.10 most stations, but wait $2.69 in NM my next stop. I'll take on 100 gallons or so there or $41 at the higher price or $19 at the lower price. Nice to be able to top off anytime I stop. Trucks always filled from the tank so it always has the freshest fuel. 1000+ miles lets me decide when & where to refuel, choices, so many choices. Watch the clerk when you hand them $200 and say pump 3.
Amen to that. That is the main advantage of a large tank right. Buy it when you want rather than when you have to. With the OEM 34 gallon tank I just couldn't go very far when towing and there was more than one time I was sweating hoping a place with diesel was close. 425 HP and 925 lb/ft of torque with 18K trailer gets me 9 mpg. It is what it is.
