NO more GASSERS for us!

What happens here

The speakers discuss the fuel efficiency of their trucks. Tim reports getting 19 MPG on the freeway and has seen up to 21 MPG, while Alex gets 17 MPG empty and around 11 MPG when towing a trailer (a loaded dump trailer or skid steer). The conversation shifts to a philosophical discussion about the lifespan of their work trucks. The main speaker suggests treating gas trucks as 'throwaway trucks' after 150,000 miles due to high repair costs. He argues that for a large operation, it might be more cost-effective to cycle out gas trucks every 40,000-50,000 miles to retain resale value and avoid major repair expenses and downtime, even if it means always having a monthly payment. They emphasize the importance of sharing experiences (good, bad, or indifferent) to help others make informed decisions.

Goal: Discuss the fuel economy of their trucks and explore strategies for managing commercial truck ownership costs and lifespan.
