Yes, F250 diesel truck for pulling trailers
32 gallon tank, $5 per gallon = $160 complete fillip
20-22 mpg on a highway trip at 65-69 mph.

Yes, very bad time to trade. . not for type of fuel, but for availability of replacement cars

Is electric the answer? yes, but only if you are driving around TV, and don't mind paying a higher electric bill.

A friend of a friend has an electric car, he couldn't care less about gas prices, but he is oblivious to the increase in the monthly electric bill of $120+. There is no free lunch.

be careful for what you think the quick and easy solution is. .
