I drove a buddy's gas truck for a week it is a new crew cab half ton Chevy 5.3L V8. I filled it up today after getting 410 miles to the low fuel light. 22.6 gallons later I got a touch over 18mpg. Best of all it filled up for under 50 bucks at 2.09 a gallon. It rides nice and is totally silent operating. I am sick of overpriced diesel fuel!

The diesel prices are hitting alot of people hard! One of my friends fills up his Freightliner Century Condo 2x a week at $450 a stop.:eek2:

I'm looking at my latest L fuel numbers: 239.9 miles, $52 fill up, 20.810 gallons = 11.528 mpg.

It's only money...:evil

My L got 9.5 mpg on average and I never cared at all. But now that my fuel bill has exceeded my truck payment I watch it more. They have you over a barrel though we have to buy it no matter what it costs.

bio-diesel...do you have a hook-up to anyone in the fast-food industry? you could start making your own fuel. that should take care of the remaining free-time in you life. ;)

Its actually pretty easy to make. If you have alot of drain cleaner and some big storage containers and something that can heat alot of fluid. Ive made a couple of tanks worth. I like it. Diesels will burn anything.
