Really? I didn't know anyone could get double digits towing a toyhauler, gas or diesel, with grades involved. Must be those fancy new 10 spd trans.

I average 12-13 towing to Glamis and back. 15k lb 5th wheel behind me. I cruise around 65 most of the way. 2011 Duramax that the emissions fell off of one day.
 
Riding back from Oklahoma, gas under $3.50 a gal till I hit CA. It was $7.45 in Needles. FU Newscum. We are getting bent over.
 
Bakersfield,Ca Ouch!!!
we decided to make a spring break Yosemite trip during the highest gas prices in US history
Whooohoo!!

Just reread my post, it’s confusing as shit on that.

EMPTY MPG in the low teens. My bad.

It’s because we have to import most of our oil from the Middle East. CA represents more than half of the country’s net imports from there.

To summarize: rather than pump oil out of the Central Valley and and coast and either let it roll downhill or just pump it a few miles over there…

We pay people who call us infidel and would like nothing more than our destruction, who drive it here in ships that make more pollution EACH than the entire fleet of CA vehicles.

All in the name of saving the environment.

I get what you're trying to say but please explain how I can go 1 mile across the river and pay under $4 for the exact same gas. I'm willing to bet whoever delivers the gas to those stations in Needles probably crosses the river and delivers to the stations in AZ too.

Bakersfield is NOT the place to get fuel on that trip. Did you stop at a Chevron a few feet away from the 99?!

Delano would have had at LEAST $1.00 cheaper, no matter what you're buying.

You were comparing OK (who gets its fuel from refineries that get their crude from Canada or the Permian Basin) to CA in your post I responded to.

But sure: AZ/CA? I assume it's because CA summer blend starts 4/1 and they ran out of winter fuel maybe? EPA let everyone off the hook that wants to, I doubt CA has. Also: it's Needles. It's $5.09/gallon here in SD for 87. Who's stopping for gas in Needles other than the desperate? :ROFLMAO:

Difference between reasonable priced places here and AZ: taxes.

My average for towing my 5700 out of 45000 miles is 9.4 mpg.
Now I have gotten 22 mpg just straight driving cruising around 66-68 mph.
I did a trek to Vegas and back doing about 70 the whole way and was at exactly 18 mpg for the round trip.
Going to work, I'm between 14-16, around town is 12. straight freeway is 16-20 depending on if there are hills or not.
 
My dad and I bought 2024 Ram 2500 Cummins at the same time 10/24… he drives his more so it’s broken in now. He just drove from San Marcos, TX to Mississippi and got 24mpg hand calculated! I’ve never gotten even close to that. Probably 18-19 at BEST for a tank all highway.
