The truck has a monitor that reads the mpg. It was at 16.5 and still climbing when we returned to the dealership after the test drive.
On the way home, my 96 Chevy was low on gas, so I stopped and filled it. If I use regular in it, I get lots of clatter, so I have to use plus or premium. Even with plus I still get a little clatter. Plus was $2.52/gal. Diesel was $2.26/gal. Checked the gas mileage on the Chevy. It was only 13.5. So the 16.5 is a large improvement and, at least right now diesel is lower.
Since its 140 miles to the mechanic in e. tx., if the mpg monitor is correct, I should get a better feel for what the truck will get for mpg.
This truck will see mostly road use and be a back-up for hauling when needed.
A lot of the decision to get a different truck stems from the fact I'm tired of fixing the Chevy. This particular truck has had a lot of mechanical problems and I'm tired of spending money on it.
I've already spent $186 on it this month. $110 for more work on the a/c and $76 to fix the tailgate handle which broke Saturday.

After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
