I am about ready to park my F250 and get a daily roller skate. Today diesel is nearly a DOLLAR more than gas in Dallas! It is 4.53 at the truck stops and 4.79 in town... Gas is 3.79 etc..

I still think the diesel is a must for pulling heavy loads. I have pulled over many Colorado passes at twelve thousand plus feet. The turbo was blowing 22+psi just to maintain 30-40mph up the switch backs. Gassers suck wind up there it is a fact. Thin air is a bear without a compressor or power adder like turbo or supercharger. If I only hauled open trailers I would consider a V-10 now days.
