I filled my diesel up this spring when I pulled it out of storage. It is at a half a tank now, might be enough for all summer the way it is going. My little lie-o-meter says 17.1MPG today, after the first camping trip this year with 20-30mph headwinds it was at 12MPG. Wonder what it will say by the end of the tank.

Come across the river. 3.79 for diesel at the stations at the AA Hwy/275 exit. You have a Thorntons, U.D.F., and a Shell about a mile south.

As of today Pilot for Ohio reports gas prices $3.24-3.49, diesel prices $3.87-3.95.
Pilot truck stops have diesel prices always higher than regular stations.

Hey Quad Racer, where in the Cincinnati area are you? I'm just across the river from Cincinnati. About 15 miles south off the AA Hwy.

Now you will argue what you call the "area".
Gassbuddy is having occasional typos, but here is diesel reported in Cincinnati East for $3.60. Highest prices I see for the area are $3.99, Far away from you have posted.

Let's bring it back to the topic, shall we? This isn't a regional fuel price discussion.

No it is not. It become gas drivers making one misleading argument after other to make them feeling better for the mistake they made.

I wish ford would make a t-rex version of the SD w/ the 6.8l like the raptor f150. That would be a bad boy. Maybe even blow the v10.

Don't know about V10 but I never drove gas engine who would allow you to do that without boiling over.
Well I just did it. Not for 20 minutes nor WOT. It won't pull at WOT in 1st very far at all. Any way my ect=200, eot=210, these raised 20 degs my tdt shot up 10 degs my egts might have move 150 deg. I didn't notice my boost. I ran for maybe 5 seconds or so. I got off it whe it quit pulling and I hit 4k rpms. I'm not sure of my top speed either I think between 30-35 but not sure. I don't see your point on this one. The 05s to now have the same tranny. I think this is more of a stress on the tranny than it is on the engine.

They aren't asking the V10 guys. (local dealer has a list of guys wanting to buy a decent 7.3 so they never even get them on the lot, just call up the first guy on the list and it's gone)
Well this is changing locally.

about 2 months local Ford Dealer traded for a 01 PSD and a 02 V10. both 4x4s both F250s both extended cabs. the PSD was priced $3k higher, the V10 is still on the lot (PSD was gone in a week)

That PSD was gone in a week because it was the 7.3 and guys want them for their reliability even though they can't pull like the diesels that came after them.

My 7.3 pulls a train just fine at speed and with good mileage. I can't imagine wanting any more power, I don't even see the need for a tuner.

And how long can you hold the pedal to the floor with 12K behind it at that power level? I can bolt on a nitrous bottle and add 300HP - but not for long

You are using a website, which I personally have refuted, having actually physically OBSERVED the posted prices at the gas station three blocks from my house.

But because I drive a FORD Superduty with a gas-powered engine, I'm lying.

You can stop now. This sort of "walking the thin line" has to stop. When someone SEES prices at a gas station, versus your website browsing, I'll take the personal reports over that website.

Because, as I said, the prices found on that website were NOT true for the station down the road from me. Did it ever occur to you that the gas station owners/operators are posting those prices to attract customers ?

Without knowing how much mileage or wear-and-tear was on either one, it would be a fun exercise to walk into that dealer when both trucks were there, and see which one the salesman pushed you towards

Matter of fact, post that dealer's location in the V10 forum, and someone will go and ****** it up in a heartbeat. If there's nothing wrong with it ....
