This company truck I have says 70 gallon capacity on both tanks, but I can't seem to fit more than 100 gallons in there whenever I fill up.

Nowadays I have to fuel every day, sometimes twice a day. Two days ago I went to Colorado Springs from Kansas and went the direct route on US 40 and CO 94. That's 400 miles with no fuel stops that will take EFS. I fueled at the Love's in Ellis, but I should have topped it off at the TA in Oakley. I ended up paying $30 cash for 10 gallons in Cheyenne Wells just to make sure I could get back to Oakley. I would've made it with 10 gallons to spare, but who wants to drive the last 30 miles with the #### amber light glaring on the fuel gauge?

The nice lady in Cheyenne Wells said that a lot of drivers tell her that they have smaller tanks than they used to. Maybe the trucking companies don't want us to get too far if there's "social unrest" or something.

The company truck I drive has two 100 gallon tanks... I can go 1.5 days between fuel stops if I want... But I would love to have the fuel capacity the Pete 379 I drove several years ago had... Two 150 gallon tanks, and a 100 gallon tank for a total fuel capacity of 400 gallons... I could really get picky about where I got fuel if I had that capacity now.
