Bought diesel fuel in Baudette around noon today. Paid $4.23 per gallon. Fuel at the Junction west of International Falls was $5.28 per gallon and diesel in town is $5.39 everywhere.

Pays pretty well per gallon to truck it 70 miles.

I've been wondering how you diesel guys been doing after looking at the prices here in the cities,  pretty sad when 4.23 makes one feel good.. By the way,  what are you fellas getting mpg anyway??

On my trip to Baudette today I got 24.3 on the truck computer. Thats a Dodge Ram 2500 with the Cummins at 60 mph. If I stay under 70 mph it's pretty consistently over 23 when not towing.

Crazy. Diesel is 4.89 in Warroad. And that is down from 5.49 2 weeks ago. Most times I drive my pickup I a pulling a 5th wheel camper or bobcat on a trailer. So my milage is usually not to great. It is a 2020 Duramax.

I hear you JB. I have a 2005 1 ton Powerstroke thats lucky to get above 13 mpg. Plenty of power though. Early this spring I put a plow on it so now the milage really doesn't matter, it sucks 100% of the time.   :rotflmao:

Back a few years ago when gas was sky high I worked for the Hwy Dept and drove trucks a lot.  It cost about $400 a day for me to fuel up.
