When I see a large pickup truck or tractor trailer driving 65 mph, I often wonder, “how often do they fill up”? A standard tractor’s diesel engine hauling a trailer will manage 5 to 7 mpg, where the gasoline burning tractor can get about 3 mpg.

It would cost a tractor trailer over 60 dollars to make the same trip on diesel ($112 using gas).
