NH gas $3.75
NH Diesel $4.50
Last night we test drove a 06' F-350 PSD. I hit the dumby computer to see what kind of mileage we could get on the test drive. 18 mpg. If that holds true, I would be all about becoming a diesel owner. I couldn't get 18 with my Hemi on the best of days around town. Well, maybe if that Ford was pushing me.
I am in the process of checking mpg with my Hemi. Results next week.
Tomorrow we are looking at a 06' Cummins.
Happy Camping,
We had an older PSD and it's mpg was great, around 20. We have the newer diesel (2008 F350) and the mpg sucks. Then again, we didn't buy it for mpg.

I agree, I had a 2000 7.3 PSD and a 2003 6.0 PSD but now the diesel option cost about twice as much and diesel fuel cost much more than reg unl gas. With oil today over $133 a barrel diesel will be over $5 a gallon in many stations . China is using 1,100 giant diesel generators to replace the electric grid in the areas that got hit by the earthquake.

Diesel has increased 3x as much as gas in the last year. Here in NJ small trucking companies are going out of business almost daily.
