Has anyone bought ON road diesel in bulk?
I have a F350 that when I fill it up it takes 30-32 gallons in a 38 gallon
tank. Right now I fill up about twice a month. Once we move to the
property I'll have to fill up at least three times a month if not four. I'm
thinking that when the wifey needs a new car we would go for a diesel
burner so all our vehicles and the tractor would run on diesel. (Looks like
Volkswagen is the only current supplier of diesel burning cars. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif )
I looks like I would be burning at good 100 gallons per month just on
my truck and the tractor. If the wife's car is a diesel burner we would
really be going through some fuel.
Since I was planning on getting a small tank and pump so I could get
away from the two yellow fuel cans, I started to wonder about fuel
savings on buying in bulk.....
I would buy ON road fuel and just log what the tractor uses during the year.
At tax time I would take the right off on the tractor fuel usage.
From going through the archives it looks like I could save 25 cents a gallon?
Does that seem right. 25 cents would be a huge savings....
Thanks,
