Gas or Diesel 2008 HD2500?
Hello,
I am going to be switching from a Ford to a chevy, I was just wondering how many miles to the gallon the HD2500 gas and diesel was getting? A little about me I currently have a 2005 F250 4x4 diesel with 305 tires. I only pull my 30ft travel travel twice a year and the distance is not very far. I average 15000 miles per year so I was wondering if I should get gas or diesel, the price of diesel has gone up over 4.00 dollars here so I think I am leaning toward the gas engine but I am not sure I was just hoping someone with the gas engine could tell me what they are averaging to help me with my decision. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

so they gave me a 2500HD with the 6.6L in it and i went on a road trip
to NC 250miles dont know milage was if i was going normal rate of speed
but at 85-90 most of that trip on I 95 i got 17 MPG at that speed
