Re: Diesel vs gas......................
You want reality? 2001 Suburban 8.1, 2004 Thor Wander Wagon 217 WTB. It gets 6.5 mpg AT 55 mph. Any faster and who knows. In town the needle moves and you can watch it. On the Interstate(unloaded)I was shocked(and happy) when it got 14.7. In the mountains and passing stuff around 13. I would like to trade it for a diesel but it isn't worth anything and I owe more than it's worth. A car dealer offered me 12 grand a few months ago for it. With gas at almost $3, it'd probably be less. So, it sits in my shop hooked up to my camper. I have 2 small kids so it's hard to get away, but at 6.5 mpg I'm not sure I could afford to drive it far anyways. That's a little under $.50 a mile. From here a trip to Yellowstone and back would cost me over a grand for just gas.450Views0likes0Comments
