It was a Gov't pricing....for us F-250 XL 4X4 C.C. short beds, electric windows and locks, rubber flooring, manual 4x4 shifter, I ordered these trucks the way we wanted them as work trucks! The west port system was like $9500 for the 18 gallon setup...they have a 24 gallon for $10600 give or take a little. So, far its just mainly mixed driving in town and little 20 mile road trips not carrying cargo or trailer yet. Truck shows its getting 12.9mpg.....right now chases for gears as soon as you hit a pretty decent incline didn't like that, we have some Chevy 2500's with 6.0 and it will run off and leave it. It may help with a tuner idk though couple of us are interested in purchasing one later down the road if they work out for our needs. The trucks stickered at $40k....we got these for $36k! Salesman was going to check and see what deal he could get us, but im sure it want be close to $36k....maybe low $40's? I drive a 1996 F-250 4x4 351 5spd....i get 15mpg on road....spend around $60 a week on fuel mixed driving...250 miles or so a week. I could drop from $60 a week to maybe $20 a week on CNG! Waiting for it to switch to gas to till the difference.....its bad cause u have to run all the CNG out first before u can run gas, so this is factor on pulling a trailer.....unless you can perk it up with a Performance Tune!!

My 2 Cents!!
