I love my V-8, even if it does suck gas. I dont care about the mileage, and neither does my fat pocketbook.

We can't yell at Zach... he doesn't even have an engine that uses gas... he's special.

Anyways, I love diesel trucks.

I feel bad for you...

I wish diesel was cheaper than gas like it used to be.

Premium is $3.22ish, which is what my F-150 required.

Dude... I remember when diesel used be like $1.20 a gallon... and regular 87 gas was like $1.60 a gallon... made me want a diesel truck soooo much. Especially since the one I wanted got a good 18-23 mpg accord to owners on turbodieselregister.com.

But now, since they've hiked on emissions laws, it is near impossible for the average person to own one.

I also remember when the diesel engines only used to cost an extra $800 to $1000 extra. Now they are like a $5,000 to $7,500 extra... almost like you need to be rich to drive a diesel truck. Not to mention the service costs associated with them these days with all of the electronics.

I dunno... part of me still wants a diesel... and a good portion of me doesn't.

Personally... I don't have anything to really haul right now... but when I get out of college, in 1 semester... I should be making decent cash. I don't have a girl friend, so I can spend all my cash on toys.

Will I keep the v6 F150? You bet... no reason to get rid of it. It might be slow... but it is turning out to be one heck of a truck. Who knows, with the cash I'd be making, I could spend the $5,125 on a blower from STS (yes I asked them about the new turbo setup for the F150) and that would make it a sicker truck.

But personally... I'd just buy a diesel and keep it for the nicer days or to haul stuff that the F150 shouldn't be hauling.

I'm going to miss going to college in some aspects... but I better get more towards reality.

87 is about $3.25 and diesel is about $3.65 here (San Diego) right now. When I need gas I swipe my sister's Costco card, they are the cheapest in town.

I got gas for $3.12 from my local Indian tribe... Oneida Indians...

They have the best gas in the world... I dunno who their supplier is, but that gas is THE best.
