RE: How many mpg would it take to get rid of the oil burner and go compact
My truck is for work, so it's not going anywhere, I just have to be smarter when driving to keep the trips down.
That means I sit at home more and don't get to my watering spots to my that tank last as long as possible

I will be parking mine soon durring the week. I am going today to meet up with Lilfroger andher Hubby to look at a 2005 Yamaha V-Star 1100 custom.
I will NOT get rid of my truck though. I don't really have to park it, it's just a smart move right now for me. The fuel savings will more than pay for the bike over a 6 month period. And I am getting the bike Dirt Cheap!! So at the end of it all, I will have a $7000 bike that I have maybe a total of $2500 in to it. And out of that $2500, none will be out of my pocket. It will be payed for with the savings of not buying so much diesel.

I did the math between beasty and yoda. . .driving yoda saves me only $30/month
I'd ditch yoda before beasty, but me getting rid of yoda will be a cold day in hell. . .or it being totaled out from me running 95-100 on 285 pissing off the crotch rockets

I have done the math as well, and a Cummins would get me 16-18mpg with about 1000 in mods. The hemi right now is getting 11mpg. Even with the added cost of diesel over gas, I would still come out ahead. Even with the larger tank, and the fact I drive 300 miles a week, I can go 600+ miles on 1 tank in a diesel with a 140 fill up or 280 miles on 1 tank in the hemi with a 100 fill up.
The facts are right there, diesel is a better alternative! Now if only I wasnt so upside down with the hemi......
