Do the math on gas vs. diesel at TODAY"S fuel prices, you might be suprised.

Also, I only tow about 20 percent of the time so I'm happy with what I have.

Thanks for criticism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you all get 16 mpg, Id say thats pretty good. Most diesels might (might !) hit 20. Then in your case, you got me there. Im suprised the 8100 hits that, I know the 90s 454s wouldnt do 16. The one good thing about the 8100 despite many changes from the old '54 is its still a proven design.
