I need to make a tank of gas last a week and thats hard to do if I just drive around with it. > > I live in Rottendam and work in Clifton Park so thats 46 miles a day already and this past weekend I made two extra trips to CP, one cruising around and one to go to my cousin’s place so we could go to a bar in Saratoga. Luckily I was able to make it a week on a tank- 365 miles. > > It hurts when I used to be able to budget $50-60 for gas a year ago and now its at $90+ a week. > > I love the truck and Im definitely not going to get rid of it. I plan on keeping it long after its paid off because Im really sick of payments. Get a tent for the bed of it and go camping. That’d be awesome and you won’t even have to use any gas to enjoy it! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/sightings-thread/234818)._
