Diesel cheaper than gas, FINALLY!

I never thought I would see the day, but diesel is 4 cents cheaper than gas here. By here, I mean Linn, MO.. Hope the diesel market will go up now and resale will go up so I can get rid of vehicle #2 LOL

Yeah my dad has a gasser too.. 1995 1500 chevy 350, gets about 12mpg all the time now, pulling the TT he gets about 6-7 compared to the 18 I get when I pull it LOL He used to rub fuel costs in my face so he would have something to brag about, now he has nothing >:)

My old Chevy C30/454/auto/3.73s The 454 had cam/intake/AFB carb/headers... got 11 towing 8,000# gooseneck. Unfortunately it got the same mpg running empty! The motor lives on in a custom Hot Rod truck... shipped to Texas...My signature truck gets 18 in warm weather, running light. Way better than the gasser towing. Those 4:10 gears were not necessary... I own it now.Russ

I remember a guy at a dirt bike race showing me his f250 the 92-96 style one with the 5.8 V8 and he said he got 20mpg out of it. Had a real fancy ignition coil and bunch of other things. That doesn't seem too far fetched if he just happened to get everything tediously set to max efficiency.. I wish I would have taken notes on everything he had done to it though :bang:

Alright I have something to admit. My dream car would be a Lincoln Mark V that is black and put a cummins in it.. It would surely get 30mpg and I would love to see peoples expression when it starts spewing black smoke LOL I know, I am ate up, but I love those boats, they are the TRUE highway kings! I can't call a truck a king when they don't have the ride of a car like the mark V. I would like to take audi's quattro and make it AWD too. I guess I just want something that nobody expects anyone to ever have B) Plus I have always wanted a big highway cruiser :drool
