I drove the gasser into town this morning and found a Krogers gas station that had diesel for 3.79! I burned the tires to get back to the house and fire up the truck to fill it up!

I work out of state alot so I think I'm going to get an Aux tank to fill up when I find fuel low. Its a tax write off for me too but it still hurts bad at $4.09!

I say... SCREW THE CARIBOU! DRILL FOR OIL!!

I bought that $449 91 gallon RDS aux tank and install kit at Northern Tool. Saves me about $50 or so per trip and has already paid for itself in a few weeks. Love it.

The only bad thing with that tank is I have a fifth wheel camper on a super slide hitch, so I have to watch the turning radius of the hitch. Does anyone make a factory replacement tank?

I agree, this is #$%^@, no excuse for any gasoline or diesel fuel to be so expensive. The american people need to share thier anger with the politicians, by keeping the pressure on them. Ty not to drive unless necessary (work/store/school/important appointments) let the oil stock pile then no excuses for supply and demand. Maybe this will send a message.

Let's keep the politics and language OUT of this thread.

I understand folks are upset about the price of a gallon of fuel but THIS thread isnt going to fix our problems. Keep it on an even keel or the thread will be removed.

Thanks.

WOW that's big price for just about 20 - 25 gallons more. I think I go with a small AUX tank in the bed. Thanks tonkadoctor!

'specially when you consider you can put a NARROW tank in
the bed for 400 bucks, gain 39 gallons and only give
up 9inches of bed depth

i like to figure based on the price per additional (over stock)
gallon...
