Me thimks he might appreciate some gas price postings ESPECIALLY around the 75 and 95 routes ...but he is famous for making overnight excursions to ARIDzonia!

I am pretty sure the Waze app will show you gas prices as you drive through an area.

I paid from $2,03 to $2.29 for diesel from Chicago through Indiana all the way to Florida on I-75 all the way to Ocala, FL. I will be buying regular fuel going back north, figure that one out! LOL

You have previously mentioned you now tow with your gasoline 5.7 Is it true in your experience that when towing something as heavy as a car on trailer that the cost of regular gasoline per towed mile with a 5.7 V8 Ram 2500 is equal to or less than towing with a Cummins 2500 Ram? Today the higher cost of ULSD diesel plus DEF fluid wipes out the engine efficiency advantage of the Cummins?

Today the higher cost of ULSD diesel plus DEF fluid wipes out the engine efficiency advantage of the Cummins? I left my gas truck in Ocala, FL and we took my buddy's 09 Chevy Duramax 3/4 ton long bed back with an open trailer and a 2001 Cummins truck on it. I got 9.3 MPG towing a 76 Power Wagon Utiline with a 4" lift down on a smaller open trailer. We got 9.8 MPG with the diesel truck, which the Cummins truck and heavier 14K trailer obviously bringing the mileage down a bit., but I still believe it the added cost of the diesel and the fuel being quite a bit more expensive did not make the diesel truck worth the extra money. I think a newer Cummins Ram would probably get a bit better mileage than a Duramax, but not THAT much better.

You sold the truck you were towing with when the tranny went out. Or you towed ur gasser. Easy peasy.  LOL! I have 228K on my 2015 Ram now, and the trans is starting to slip a bit, and I have had engine lights come on and the code read "torque converter clutch" so you are probably right, will need to get trans serviced soon! I am pretty happy with the 66RFE so far though, if it were and older trans like the 48RE than I would have had it rebuilt 75K miles ago...
