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.

As I have mentioned many times, I much prefer stopping at rest stops, city parks, almost any place other than a noisy, crowded, truck stop. If you prefer truck stops to city parks, or rest stops, then by all means do your own thing. I prefer not to spend my stops taking a break at a truck stop.
Yes, you have to stop before the tank, 70 gallons, is anywhere near empty. But, to me, it's just more pleasant to stop at almost any place other than a truck stop. Regardless of how wonderful I've been told the new truck stops are. :)
I'm beginning to think it's the highlight of some people's trips to see how many Loves and Pilots they can stop at....
Nothing like using a restroom with 6 stalls where 500 truckers a day drop the kids off at the pool!!
