I was reading about the next gen of GM pickup engines  that 3.0 Duramax has a range of 1400 kms on one tank?  thats great except for the fuel costs the 8.3 mongoose will be a brute lol new 5.7 and 6.6 gas engines both making over 400 hp     

Seems to be higher than 20% now.....based on what I see, it is 40% higher. Is diesel taxed higher than gas and the reason for the larger gap these days.....not as though all motives of transportation that delivers our goods does not get moved around on some form of a diesel vehicle......?

Kinda missed the boat on that one eh.  

Only thing I can attribute the rise in diesel fuel to is, I bought my first diesel truck.  

Just have to put it in your head for the season that only the "extra" is extra. Yes, it's $40.00, but it's only $40.00 extra if your plans were to sit in the house and not go anywhere or do anything. You were likely going to spend something, and incur something.
