wow, that's pretty good. Do you do a lot of longer mileage trips? Most of my trips are short, so I use more diesel than I'd like to. Still I can't complain about 1500-2000 miles to 40gal diesel in a 8500# rig

2000 7.3X V3 So much fun,so little time,Support small Oil,burn WVO,Free and greasy down the road I go!!!!!!!!!!completely self sufficient and proud of it. (Wood furnace.....X.......solar pontoon....solarsheat twins this summer.....I don't Know much.......I'm just a hillbilly with too many guns..............
I live 1 mile off the main highway so not much.I just went and looked,1/4 tank (11 gallons) in 1500 miles.This is with most trips over 100 miles round trip,my wifes greased CRD is the around town rig(30 MPG with chip).Putting the bullbar on this weekend,so that will take a little MPG away.But the safety and piece of mind are worth it.Been thinking of filling it with leftover lead,just for some towing ballast,and moose catching..............

I think my best has been right at 2750 miles to just under 25 gallons of diesel. By the math, I think it worked out to be 111.1 MPG on diesel over the course of the tank.
Not too shabby.

My favorite part of this whole deal is laughing in the face of Prius owners and telling them I use less purchased fuel than they do with a truck/trailer that is 10 times the weight of their car

Lol...yeah, I gotta admit, I've been anxiously awaiting the opportunity to do that. So far though, I haven't had any of them make any smart remarks...

Went strawberry picking last year with the family,two puiruses there.I get out of the X,and here mumbling.As I walk away I here one of the hybrid geeks ask me "How can you drive such a gas guzzling monstrousity,in these times with good men are dieing to supply YOUR fuel"? I slowly turn around and the wife gives me the "don't kick this guys ASS look",so I slowly approach said geek.I began "This truck runs on waste vegetable oil,I average 130 MPG on diesel,and I have several close friends serving in Iraq.I then explained that there are more then one type of hybrid,and I needed more power and space then a smaller one would provide."I then showed him the V3 and tank,and he quickly apoligized for being rude.He said he would look at diesels in a different light,and try not to be so narrow minded.All the time my wife was laughing her ass off:chuckles:.So next time he sees a big truck in the rear view,I hope I changed his train of thought................

Greasy, that's about what I was expecting to hear if someone was to say anything to me. I'm sure they view us as careless, inconsiderate folks just based on the types of vehicles we drive.
