If you think you're saving a bunch of money then run the numbers.
I just bought a 2.5 gal of DEF at Wally World. $7.88 for a 2.5 gal jug. That's not a sale price, regular price. At your quoted price of $2.79/gal, which is also about the price locally at the pumps, you're paying $6.97 for 2.5 gal. So you're saving 91 cents for 2.5 gal or 36 cents/gal.
When I'm pulling my 5er and pulling hard I use about 1 gal for every 700 miles. If I'm running empty I use about 1 gal for every 1100 miles. So you're saving 36 cents a gal for every 700 to 1100 miles.
So what's your 36 cents/gal savings do for you?
Let's say you drive your truck 100,000 miles and the entire time only get 700 miles per gal of DEF. In that 100,000 miles you would use 143 gal of DEF and saved $51.48. If you drive that truck 200,000 miles you've saved a $100 bill and change.
Don't spend your big savings all in one place.
