SRW vs DRW MPG
I had a 99 V10 3.73, Dually LB CC 2wd...I got about 9.5 empty and 7.5 towing. How much is the dually MPG penalty? I mean, if my truck wasn't a dually, what would my MPG have been? Would it have...

Hi. Why are so interested in fuel mileage? You are towing another vehicle thats (dead weight). The higher you go less mileage you get.
Quite simple...my next truck is going to be a DD at 60-70 miles per day. 1-2 mpg doesn't sound like a lot but it does add up at this kind of mileage. And having a commuter car is generally false economy even at 30 mpgs. By the time you pay the payment , insurance, and gas and maintenance the commuter is a wash at best to a loss at worst. At least in my experience.
And I do not mind the diesel folks chiming in...all are welcome on this thread.
I could make the right Half ton work...but I'm not buying new and good HD trucks are plentiful HD half a are not.
Thanks,
Jeremiah
