just wondering v10 vs 7.3 gas miles

My old 7.3 got nearly double the MPG that my current V10 does...
I guess a calculator would be helpful to you. lol

In your example, the V10 would be spending $.36/mile, and the diesel would be spending $.25/mile.

Not including extra maintenance costs for the diesel.

Here we go again. Do some basic math or research. This topic has been covered multiple times. Really?

Just sayin' that using gasoline vs fuel costs and "expected" mileage is bunk. Too many other variables on both sides.
