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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

 

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.

Get the Cummins (Dodge)...the motors are far better than the Chevy or the Ford.
