Well that’s nuts, a comparable gasoline motor would use at least three times the fuel that a diesel motor will use. So it’s not such a simple solution.

I’ve been putting bulls out today. I’m hauling 14 big mature bulls that weigh 1500-2000 lbs. made 5 trips so far on gravel county roads and pasture loads. My brother is hauling with the same truck as me only is a gas motor. He is pulling a 16 foot trailer to go to the smaller pastures. We set our trip/mileage/ buttons to compare our mileage. He’s hauling and pulling half of what I am and was averaging 5.7 mpg. I’m getting 14mpg.

How am I complaining about what I don’t like? I respond to posts of people complaining and making fact less comments. How is that complaining? I have always shared facts and cited sources. I could careless what you think I stand for. Difference is, I don’t just stand for one side.
You dodged my question on purpose. You say you are consistent in not believing any media, but have yet to jump in against any Right Wing posts or comments. And before that, you also said to get info from multiple sources. So which is it? You contradicted yourself. You didn’t challenge anyone else who commented.
I bet you watch the news and believe most of it. Sports scores, traffic reports, crime reports, etc. But when it comes to certain things, you’ll say they’re lying. Simply because you don’t agree with them. And I’m certain you don’t strictly get your info directly from the source. You arent collecting data on your own or investigating stories on your own. So you must get info from some sort of medium. Yet you’ll act as if you somehow have the right info and others (you don’t agree with) are all full of lies. But feel free to show me what I posted is wrong.
I remember reading tests of new diesel cars & SUVs a few years ago, that said the new engines would run without it....for a while. It would give you repeated warnings about the lack of DEF. After that "emergency distance" it would shut down per programming and not restart until it had more DEF.

Buddy of mine has a Ram 3500 with the Cummins. He was telling me of running outta DEF and it going into limp mode for a few miles and finally shutting down completely. Late at night and no where around to buy DEF so he had to UBER home and go back the next morning and get it. He said from that point on he keeps a few gallons extra in the truck.I remember reading tests of new diesel cars & SUVs a few years ago, that said the new engines would run without it....for a while.

Sure.... If you need to pull a trailer or boat, a diesel is the best option. A commercial fleet will save move in fuel over the lifetime with diesel engines, even though the initial cost is more. Plus no plugs to change!
