I double tow with my 28' 5th wheel with the 18' jetboat on the back of it and still do about 14 mpg. Try that with a gas truck and see what your mileage does.

BTW - you spend DOUBLE for fuel in your diesel vs. your old ladies rig and you drive a company truck to work?? BULLCRAP!
Try it this way numbnuts.....figure the old hag drives a rig that gets 20 mpg and your pile of junk gets 15. She pays $2.80 a gallon and you pay $3.00. You both drive 100 miles a day. At the end of the month you spent $180.00 more then her. She's in for $420 and you're in for $600.
If you want.....I'll figure it out for the 30,000 you got on your rig and the piece of crap she drives....it ain't NOWHERE near double for your raggedy ass truck that you claim it is...and keep in mind, pea brain...she ain't getting 20 and you ain't getting 15.
KEEP MAKING THAT GOOD CHEESE!!!!!!!!
