Yeah, it's going to be UGLY! Wife filled up (well, tried to fill up) the truck yesterday. 24 gallons = $175 when the card turned off. 7.50 a gallon! Further east you go it gets better. Think it's like 6.25 in Havasu and keeps dropping as you drive east. On average, looks like it's going to cost about $1300 each way in fuel - 1800 miles, 8 MPG (average hopefully), $6 a gallon average....Picked a bad time to tow cross country! :picard1::snide:

I was $1250 R/T in diesel from west of Portland to Havasu for Desert Storm. That's at 12.1mpg

When I ordered my new truck in 21 during COVID, I really wondered about my motor choice. I got the ford 7.3 Gas "Godzilla" motor rather than the oil burner.

It was another $9800 for the Diesel and since I live on a canal, I do not tow every time. With the 10 speed it has plenty of power and has no issues with any of the boats or my camper.

Now when I travel with my friends and they get 2 mpg better but are paying $1.00-$1.30 more per gallon plus DEF, yeah glad I have a gas motor.

we have a 2024 3500 Duramax. We had a 05 Duramax that was chipped. It got 20 plus mpg with out towing and like 14 towing. The new truck with all the emissions BS averages 12-17 mpg not towing and 12 to 6 mpg towing. The see and emissions just destroy fuel mileage. The ten speed is amazing the truck over all is so plush and nice and drives and tows like a dream. Towed the boat from ca to az full of fuel a few months back running up grades at 75 no problem! But dang the gas mileage sucks. Lol. And fuel is up to $7.50 a gal for diesel in ca.!! Luckily it only gets driven like 20 miles a week usually when not towing.

but whatever. This trips gonna be awesome. Looking forward to seeing the road and towing with my boys (17 & 13) who are boaters and love it. Gonna be fun. Plus hopefully big Dan is towing his gun out with us so, should be a good time. YOLO baby!! Let’s gooooooo!!
