[RC] [RC] ? Gas vs Diesel Trucks - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Nicole z_arabs@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To get the same power out of a gas engine as the diesel has (in the Dodge, I have a Dodge, and yes I'm *still* paying for it and will be for the next 2.5 years) you'll need the V10. Those V10's get about 7 mpg. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the owner of one of those V10s, it does get a *tad* over 7mpg when not towing, but towing that's probably pretty on target for towing mpg (with a 4-horse older all steel trailer with dressing room). We bought the V10 because we couldn't find a used diesel in our price range. Next time we will bite the bullet and pay for the diesel. ~Nicole ============================================================ Prudence and focus will carry you a long way on a horse. ~ Frank Solano ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
