[QUOTE="Brent, post: 41159, member: 99"] Yeah, 500k mi. did surprise me a bit. That is a bit more than I had figured for the lighter duty diesel. My Freightliner I drove at CF had 680K mi. when we were finished there. I agree, under a load the diesel gas milage falls very, very little. The new large gas engine V8's are doing much better on gas than I think you may realize. Often it'll take a diesel 30-50K miles just to break in and gas mileage to come up to normal. One friend of mine said his new one went up to 17 MPG and stabilized at about 30k, the other was up to 21 MPG and stabilized at about 40K miles. I think diesel is about $1.45 a gal. here locally, $1.60 in places of high traffic and out here rural. About 10 cents lower a gallon than unleaded. [/QUOTE]
