$3.15 in Central Florida at some busy stations that tend to be first to change prices.

Had a little drive around the UP and then to a Michigan folks from our Old Mill Rv in Fl camp out. Good time by one and all. Averaged about n11.5 mpg with the ol'322 FKS Jayco TT behind my 2015 Dmax.
But at the campout suffered under heavy rainns and ripped the awning off one side. Went to Tawas Jays RV to have the thing replaced. Insurance is nice. While there my wise guy mechanic said "go look at your new TT" I told him I had seen the TT in Tampa in Feb but made the mistake and looked anyway.
Bottom line my sig will soon change to a Jayco Eagle premier 338RTS. This is a bad boy at 39' will likely not see the 11.5 MPG.
I will be look'n for truck stops from now on for fuel!

Price of diesel around $3.70 here.
Took out our new trailer and was really surprised that the new truck and trailer did 11.2 to 12.2 mpg on a 250 mile trip! Truck isn't even broke in yet at 3000 miles.
The thing with fueling this GMC is the DEF is under the hood and on the wrong side for most truck stops. Your have to go in to the big boy area to get DEF and then try to be in the exact position for the hose isn't any to long. I also experienced considerable overflow once the DEF auto shut off activated.
DEF at the truck stops was $2.78 gallon.

Just an observation, but considering the extra energy to produce DEF, modify engines, modify the engine platforms, package and deliver the stuff, and whatever else is involved, I really wonder what the net benefits are. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/rolleyes.gif "rolleyes")
