The new fuel - which represents a 97% reduction in sulfur content from previous diesel fuel - is now available at fueling stations nationwide. This environmental revolution means cleaner air for all Americans and paves the way for introduction of the rest of the clean diesel system

On the topic of fuel, what is everyone paying?

Currently $2.69 in Indianapolis, or $2.49 at the truck stops. Could this new diesel be the reason for the rising fuel costs? In other news, gas prices are down :/

 

2.46 in Livonia Louisiana. 2.55 in baton rouge

 

$2.69 yesterday... cheepest around.

on another note... does anyone keep good fuel economy records? i'm curious to see if your mileage drops like mine did... we switched earlie in the year and it seemed like mileage dropped about .75~1.0 mpg on average.

 

Once it arrives here I will have pretty good records.

I get 17-18 average. I get 22 on highway (which it doesnt see that often).

But I have an automatic and 4:10 gears.

 

do you have a 305 motor or the 325? I heard the 305's are awesome on mileage.

 

are you talking to me?

 

Hey Brent, good to see another Indy truck here

Since I commute Indy-Lafayette daily, I usually fill up at the TA at the 130 on I65, it's still 2.31 .... at least, it was this morning.

 

I haven't really been following htis whole new diesel fuel too closely, however I guess I should huh?
How is it advertised?
What do I look for?
What was my old diesel fuel called?

 

yup...

 

Here is my spec sheet

Maybe you can tell me which one I have. All I see it say is 5.9 600 cummins turbo diesel.
