What going downhill with 30 mile an hour wind at back in georgia overdrive ? What about the additional cost during winter time ? Powerservice and electricity, they still arent free ! I've never plugged mine in and can't remember it ever gelling up. Not to mention winter fuel looses power which lowers mileage, maybe you should read up on that, lmao !

Seems to me that you just dont like diesel.a 300k tranny front end ball joints,transfer cases,clutches no different than on a gas truck but they wont even still make it anywhere near that lol.Yes 20mpg my truck on interstate driving will go 670 miles on 32 gallons you do the math.In the winter i have a older dodge never plug it in will start just fine.Let it run 5 minutes and its good to go.You plug them in then that means you get in and go.My mileage doesnt change from the summer to the winter sorry.Seems like you need to learn more about what you are talking about.

Also the newer diesels dont have to be plugged in at all.

I work on diesels, day in and day out, as well as gassers. And sold quite a bit of fuel, close to half million gallons last year, and beleive me winter blended fuel does NOT get the mileage like summer fuel. And you don't run powerservice in the winter ? That stuff ain't exactly cheap, it all figures in to the cost per mile. Ive sold twice of much as fuel than most people will ever use, don't believe I'm the one who's lacking in knowledge here.
