I figure I save 4 cents a mile driving my Duramax over a gas 3/4 ton.
I can get 25 mph with my 02 crewcab 4x4 (not towing, cruise at 65) $.17 a mile
Brothers F250 gas gets 17mph hwy (he says on a good day) $.21 a mile
figures are comparative when towing as I get 13.5 towing 11k (cruise at 62-65) and he pulls 9.5k and gets 9.5 to 10 mpg...
Oh, and I get 18-19 in town(slow takeoffs and try not to brake, just as if I was pulling)
There are NO gassers that compare....bro's truck does better that his buddies Tundra(pulling 7.3K, which tends to PO his buddy)....
one more note..I've owned my truck for 5 years, I believe both of theirs are 2006, and for what they both paid, I think I got a GREAT DEAL...PLUS, I can still upgrade to a big 5er if I so choose, without needing a new TV...
