Yes, but just remember.......you'll get more mileage out of the tank of your truck. It doesnt even out 100%, but it'll probably cost you $15 or less to run the truck for a week over a sedan of some sort. Of course, this is wholly dependant on what kinda driving you do.

i spend $9/DAY on fuel and i was wondering if i ever paid $15/WEEK since i've been working at the casino. then i remembered paying $.759 per regular unleaded in march 1998. even if i drove the same distance and my 1993 geo prizm, it would come out to about $9.50/WEEK. i am depressed now.

Just filled up yesterday. 3.2 Gallons, $7.25. Should get me about 175 miles so long as I don't punch it and stay below 70mph. If I do right around 140. Gotta love bikes!!! It is now my primary mode of transportation when nice.

I wish I had a place to keep my bike at home and that truck tank will last me a month (I hope) since I drive something smaller the rest of the time... Just hate to spend all that $$$. The next truck should go 600-900 miles on a tank depending on where I drive it, this one does 250-350 miles

Must be nice to get 250-300 miles! Even though I don't have a spare (have a jack though) my truck gets all of 160 miles per tank! I think it was made just for my bladder!


Still wondering why when you have all that room Ford would've installed a 14 gallon tank!

I believe mine are 17 and 18, 2 tanks... The real question is why all fords arn't made with 2 tanks

I'm thinking of geting a motorcycle and instaling a diesel engine to look for 100mpg
