No that is on road diesel and I drive about 500 - 800 miles a week. I have 232,000 on the truck and have spent less than $2500.00 on repairs in the last 3 yrs. I frequently haul 14,500 GVW. In order to get an equal preformance I would have to go to a big block gasser and that means only 8-11 mpg. I get 19 empty and 16 loaded with the diesel. I bought the truck used 3 yrs ago with 146,000 miles on it. I paid $7000 cash for it and have never regreted buying it. I know they are more expensive to buy and maintain but you just can not get a gasser to give you the same preformance as the diesel.
