Re: Diesel vs gas......................
It has been what 20 days since I last posted. NH gas $3.75 NH Diesel $4.50 Last night we test drove a 06' F-350 PSD. I hit the dumby computer to see what kind of mileage we could get on the test drive. 18 mpg. If that holds true, I would be all about becoming a diesel owner. I couldn't get 18 with my Hemi on the best of days around town. Well, maybe if that Ford was pushing me. I am in the process of checking mpg with my Hemi. Results next week. Tomorrow we are looking at a 06' Cummins. Happy Camping,501Views0likes0CommentsRe: Diesel vs gas......................
My lease is up in August on my 5.7 gasser. I get mail, email and phone calls from Dodge to come on in a trade now...OK. Diesel or another 5.7? I am a truck driver by trade and I know the cost of Diesel. I also know how lost lasting and powerful they are...but the cost???? Fuel in my area last Friday was about a .90 cent difference. My wife and I sat down and figured what the cost difference would be between gas and diesel. We figured a 34 gallon tank, (Talking Dodge here) Not Towing! 5.7- 13 mpg. 6.7- 16 mpg. Well to skip all the math the diesel was $3.00 more per tank. Remember Not towing. So to us the price of diesel is not enough to stop us from buying one. I feel the price per gallon for Diesel will even off or even go down before gas does. Why? Because over 90% we buy is hauled by Diesel. Look at the price of milk, bread, produce and meat, compared to a year ago. How much more can the consumer take? Our economy is on the line. Last week, I spoke to a Lays vendor I see every week. He told me the price of chips is going up .25-.30 cents per bag. Mostly because of the cost of diesel. Gas in NH has already broke price records and Memorial day isn't even here yet. This morning the Wife says maybe we should go seasonal...guess that would end the gas/diesel truck problem.382Views0likes0CommentsRe: Pet Pictures - READ MY STARTING POST B/4 POSTING
