Let me tell you about my truck. Her name is Big DeeDee. She’s a 2012 Ford F350 diesel, and she is perfect for what she does. Towing the fifth wheel trailer, hauling gear, weekend dump runs. I love this truck. I will defend this truck. If Big DeeDee and I ever have to part ways, there will be a ceremony.
She also gets 11 miles per gallon.
My commute is roughly 80 miles round trip, from Auburn to KIRO in Eastlake, five days a week. That’s about 400 miles. At 11 miles per gallon, that’s roughly 36 gallons of diesel a week. At what we’re paying at the pump around here, that’s around $218 a week…
