Cheapest I saw was Virginia at 2 bucks but $2.20 is right around what all the East Coast is paying.


Just hauled my little 17ft. boat to the house here in Florida. It does have two motors and might weigh a ton with trailer but I had it loaded up with tree stands and lots of tools plus the truck was packed full. My guess is I grossed around 10K#'s. 18MPG.


That's what I got for 1,200 miles. Did take a detour to Cedar Key but most driving was 70mph on Interstate roads. 18mpg towing and loaded is real good I think. Remember though, there was no increased wind resistance with the boat and trailer. That's a far cry from what I usually tow that's over 12ft. high, heavy and gets me 8 to 11 mpg.


Wind resistance...said it before and I'll say it again. Wind resistance is the key to towing and fuel mileage.

Here in Ky...It's around $2.14/gallon...its still pretty crazy!!! I hate it...and plus one of the main reasons that i bought a diesel was because diesel prices were lower!!! Lucky me!!!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley19.gifhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gif

It's about $2.25 here in Indiana. When I was in Texas last week they were around $2-$2.10.



Someone better lower fuel prices instead of raise them if he wants to get those swing votes and win an election...

Hey guys $2.59 here and risinghttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley18.gif My truck is still only getting around 12 miles to the gallonhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley19.gif
On a happier note I pulled home my first ford on sunday.
My buddy has a 99 F-350 quad cab sb he left my house and called me 10
min. later and told me to come get him. When I was hooking up to
his truck he smarted off and said you sure that thing can pull me I
just replied hold on. It's a pretty good climb back to my
house. By the time we got to the top of the hill he was yelling
out the window and hitting his brakes. I guess 60 was a little
excessive when towing with a chainhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/hihi.gif

Anywhere from $2.14 to $2.25 in Indiana. Seems like the smaller little towns are even higher!! I don't understand it. All summer diesel was $1.67 and gas about $1.79. Then gas jumps up $.10 before fall and diesel goes up $.20 overnight and has never gone back down. Now gas is $1.81 and diesel is $2.14. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley7.gif

Just to let you guys know we are at 2.55 here at the University of Idaho where I attend college. That red fuel back home on the farm sure is tempting at 1.70 a gallon isn't it, hahah http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif

I paid $2.30 here in Colorado last week. It was one of those tiny-town marts. Along the interstatte its $2.10-$2.20. I'd like to know what home heating oil costs, as its the same product.

broncrider-


I believe that in Montana the fine is $500. When you think about that, running died diesel might just be worth it.

While not advocating, I'm guessing the avg Joe wouldnt be scrutinized. Seems the folks they check are the guys hauling heavy equipment. How much is Wesson oil by the gallon?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/hihi.gif
