So how do you compare MPG when two different liquids are being used at the same time? ---

> [@BigRon](#): > > So how do you compare MPG when two different liquids are being used at the same time? well. I know this is complicated and all but try and follow along. You take the miles driven and divide it by the amount of fuel used. ---

F-series, E-series, all. a lot of the stuff we sell is on the E450-E750 chassis. I’m pretty sure all of them have the X (as far as offering diesel in these trucks) for 2010, but definitely E,F450 are X’ed. It makes no sense, because it is a popular platform. just this week, Chevy X’d its 5500, 6500, and 8500 lines, which has us back on the drawing table since we have a BIG, BIG contract signed and ready to rock based on these chassis. the economy is EFFFFFED right now, and it’s finally starting to hit us ---
