I filled up the truck yesterday and on road was 2.83. Its been 2.83 for weeks. It bumped up to 2.89 maybe a month ago from 2.83 then dropped back down. Still 2.83 this morning.
Gas was 3.19, 3.29, and 3.39.
The F350 got a hand calculated 20.6 MPG. The overhead computer said 21.0. Can't complain about 20+ MPG in a 7500 truck. Most of my driving is rural 55 mph with maybe 20% in city traffic.
Biggest complaint about filling up is that the station put in new diesel pumps that are high flow. And he took off the doo dads that allowed you to set the pump and do something else. He did this to keep the bigger trucks from overfilling their tanks. I have been using a rock that was in the back of the truck to hold the handle up just enough to fill the tank but not click off. I noticed that he had to put out cat litter because the tanks are still overfilling....
PITA.
Used the tractor on Saturday to move 15 tons of ABC, pull a 8-12 inch stump with the box blade and move some tree trunks to make firewood. Figured I spent $3-6 on diesel. Easily worth a couple hundred dollars if I had to hand dig that stump up. Would not even touch moving 15 tons of ABC with a wheel barrow and a shovel.
Later,
