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.

Buying fuel at a cheaper station is just one of the bennies of extra fuel. The main benefit is stopping when you want to, rather than when the truck demands it.
Interesting logic:
Buy a truck with a diesel (added cost), spend more money on a large or extra fuel tank, buy and tow a huge RV that lowers the mpg, and all of a sudden, shopping for fuel that's a few dollars less per tank is important?
LOL.
When I tow any of the trailers, I don't really care about the cost the fuel. It is what it is.
I am interested in the MPG because it tells how the truck is performing compared to other trips. But, cost? No.
