Maybe no place to fuel, either!

That's the professional driver's creed!

Figuring out where to buy fuel is part of trip planning...

Man, this ain't no easy question. Me, I like 120's, cause honestly I've found with the set up of that particular truck it gave the best all round results. I could scale 49K, run two days on long runs (1000-1200 miles), and that "07 KW pulled real nice (not the best, but good). But the real question is the whole truck and what do you want to do with it? You need to be specific with your needs, and ask yourself some hard questions. There are lots of truck on the market and if you buy a flat top I'd hope you don't expect to do well pulling a van.
So SPEC it to the job!
Good Luck Driver, wish I was the one buying my own truck! -
I like my 150's. Went over 1500 miles on the last fill up . SLC to San Diego and back. Got a level one at St George Ut poe this morning dude was looking at my logbook asking where my fuel reciept said I didn't have one, havent fueled since I left home.

I can count on one hand the number of times my truck with 150 gal tanks has been topped off in the past year. Very few circumstances where fueling heavy makes sense, but it's nice option to have when you're trip planning.
