I haven't been paying attention to diesel since I have been driving a gasser while I play with mine. I did happen to realize it all today. I looked at all the prices and holy hell, $3.70 for diesel. It was $3.00 last time I looked, maybe a month ago. Didn't realize it was rising that fast.

Just went up again... $4.259 in New Meadows, ID now... :duh:

Ya know Mike, you used to get what, 17mpg, and were fine with it because of excuses you thought to be true with winter and you complained about fuel prices then. Now you get 23.5mpg because of the fooler. If I calculate it out, in comparison to what mpg you got before (17), the $4.259 is actually only $3.081. So now what do you have to complain about :lmao::moon:

Either going be hauling 2 cords of firewood or be hauling the other travel trailer around. Now figure again... :spend:

I get 17 pulling our trailer around at 70 and never letting off. Time for you to learn how to fool for trailer towing :cool: If I, a person with a 12V, can figure out how to get you from 17-23.5, then you, a person with the 24V, can figure out how to get the trailer mileage up as well. A semi truck with 80k gets lets say 6. Using that logic we can say your truck and trailer with a combined weight of, hmm was it 15,000 or so, that works out to 32mpg. Might be a little off with that but I tried it several ways and it was always 32. Still there are DT466 out there pulling a ton getting 13mpg so there is definitely room for improvement with our trucks.
