    thats 30 mpg in my tiny sh!t car, haha

    dont get me wrong 7.3 FTMFW! but even at 23mpg with diesel being $4.50+ a gallon its gotta equal out to somewhere around 15mpg for a gasser

    diesel at $4.50 at 23 mpg means your burning $0.19 of diesel per mile

    gas at $3.89 at 14 mpg means your burning $0.27 of gas per mile

    for it to even out you need 20mpg in a gasser to equal the $0.19 per mile in a diesel

    so with my 5.4L 4R75W 3.73 gears and 35's with edge evo and 89 octane

    55mph @1250rpm estimate 19mpg
    65mph @1600rpm estimate 17mpg
    75mph @1750rpm estimate 16mpg
