240zV8 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 It wouldn't be so bad if i drove a civic or some little car, but i have a 91 3/4 ton chevy pickup and get like 10mpg or less it seems. I might sell it to get a diesel f250 with the 7.3 or a ram if i find a good deal. I read the consumer report of my truck and it got great reviews in everything except gas milage, it was the worst in it's class. Maybe should have read that before i bought it because the diesels get 16-25 depending, and have so much more torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 280ZForce Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 here is So Cal in the Inland area... we got $2.25 for 87, $2.35 for 89 and $2.45 for 91 right now. I have a Sunoco station down the street that offers leaded 110...lol...not sure on the price though, they don't advertise it. I guess you find out when you get to the pump.

Alf Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 It's about $2.11 here in KS, which is fine by me with my little escort, $24 to fill it up and 36 mpgs around town. My mom tells me it's in the low $1.80s back home in Jersey, but get it while it's hot cause it will be going up in about a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsun350Z Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 My $1.98 gas was bought at a citgo, and the mobil down the road was the same price. The one seriously only 1/4 mile away (you can see the signs from each other's pumps) in Ny state was $2.59 for regular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I might sell it to get a diesel f250 with the 7.3 or a ram if i find a good deal... because the diesels get 16-25 depending, and have so much more torque. Have you noticed diesel prices? It kind of levels the field. Everyone around me is celebrating the price drops to below $2.30, but I still pay $2.70 for diesel. Until diesel prices go back to where they were 6 years ago, it's kind of a wash. Torque -hell yes! I can pull damn near anything you dream up. As far as 6.0 vs 7.3: the 6.0 has a ton of problems, and is just as heavy and bulky as the 7.3. It also drives like the smaller motor it is - takes more revs to do the same work. I have a 2000, dad has an '05. Mine tows with ease, his tows with wheeze. But on paper he has more power. Celebrate quietly guys (sniff). You're depressing me.

wreckedj30 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 really 2.70 that'sa grip, i'd but that diesel converter, and make my own...plus it'd smell like burgers. And i don't know aboot that 7.3 pulling more, cause my friends wouldn't make it up my drive way, where the 6.0 did. But i don't want to argue just learn.

Guest Mike Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I'm in the San Antonio area which, as you know is not far from the gulf coast where they refine LOTS of the stuff. We're STILL paying more than $2 per galon for the cheapest mix. That's the way it's always been. The greedy bastages... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd listen to Sven, he knows what he's talking about. The diesel techs are always flooded with 6.0s...it's rediculous how many problems those engines have. FWIW, 2 of the techs own Ford diesels, and they're all 7.3s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
