Our bucket truck is a Dodge w/cummins and 6 speed. It gets around 16-17 mpg.
The fuel is only part of the cost of a truck, though. Tires wear fast, cost a lot to replace... diesels cost more for oil and filter changes than gas rigs. However, it's nice to know that there's 325 HP under the hood and it's got "go anywhere" 4WD. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <insert witty tagline here> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Hammett" <[email protected]> To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 2:52 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Service vehicle > Fords have terrible mileage.
