In Reply to: Why buy a diesel? posted by dej(jed) on March 27, 2008 at 04:57:01:
we plow snow with 4 powerstroke 1 ton fords,would not use anything but them now,we have been plowing for 25 years with both ford an gm with good results from both.for us you cant figure milage when plowing,we use by the hour to gauge them,gas jobs 4hrs and you better be looking for gas, diesels will plow twice without refueling.with purchase cost of the new diesels and the increased cost of the fuel now and the cost of upkeep{oil changes,fuel and air filters}its been our finding if your going to own a diesel these days you better be working to make it pay for itself not just using it as a daily driver. whats really sad is the over the road trucks grossing 80k will run 6-8,and the pickups work hard to break 12 loaded.i have been a shop manager for 22 years so i have heard alot of wild fuel mileage stories,its amazing how many people when asked how they came to there mileage numbers stumble around for a few moments before they tell you.if the truck is full when you start and you drive 400 miles then refill the truck to the top of tank again with 22 gals your mileage would be 18.18.so if your 6 liter gas gets that kind of mileage you better take REALLY good care of it as it will be a collectible, because you are sure to have the only one like it.
