Steer him away so we can keep the V10 a well kept secret. Let them keep stimulating the economy with buying and repairing trucks...

Yesterday I brought our Bronco 2 out trailing to a buddies property and he brought his 04 Chevy 6.0 2500. He couldn't hold up with the loads that he had so our Bronco 2 had to do most of the work sad part is it was in 2wd the whole time.

Noticed gas was $3.70-$3.75 and diesel was still at $4.25. If gas keeps dropping and diesel stays the same the mpg "justification" for a diesel will start to vanish.

Here in Casa Grande AZ gas is down to 3.09 the only problem is our aux tank is full of 3.69 gas but the front tank is ready for about 30 gallon, maybe it will go below 3.00 before we fill it .

3.09 is the cheapest I have seen gas here in Arizona I would jump on it it will probably go back up.

Yea I'm NEVER going to see gas at $3.00. Our prices are some of the highest in the nation. Seems like it has to do with being at the end of the distribution line, or at least they say.

Amen, we are finally down to 3.40 a gallon here, with diesel still at 4.05 a gallon. Does this mean I can forget the "great" mileage a diesel gets when compared to the gas guzzler?

The mpg saving all depends on how much you drive. I'd think for 50%+ of the diesel owners they don't put on enough miles per year to make an mpg justification of saving money over a gas truck. I also chuckle when people drop $50k+ on a truck (gas or diesel) and talk about saving money..??? Oxymoron??

Lowest price of gas this morning was $3.26 at Citgo. Hoping it keeps up until weekend!
