    I totally agree with your comment with the premium price added to a diesel over the gas counterpart, but I should add that I did buy my truck used in 2007 with only 14k miles on it. Straight out buy with no trade and picked it up for $31,500.00 + taxes over the same new 4x4 crew cab lariet at over $54k + taxes. Plus I did need it for towing as well.

    WOW you bought some crappy bosch plugs so you didnt have to buy the 95cent spark plug gapper? When I worked at Advance we used to openly ridicule the people who came in and bought the shitty bosch + whatevers or the "splitfires". Gapping spark plugs is teh hardest!

    Next time ask around before you buy something.

    who pays for my gas? the poeple i deliver for... i do local deliveries and i also do deliveries for major dealerships like SW infinity or momentum bmw and they pay for gas.

    diesel is pretty great and you do get good mileage. im actually in the market for a f-250 but with insurance rates i dont think it'll be anytime soon.

    i get 20 miles per gallon when i keep the rev under 2k with my programmer. its got tourque so it accelerates nice under 2k.

    so its a win win. my aunt told me about the business idea so i get tax deductions with gas, plus i dont pay for more than 20% of my gas.
    Who pays for your gas?
