Buying a used emission truck is a huge gamble unless you have the money to go through everything before you even put it on the road. Go through the service manual and do everything that was supposed to be done by whatever mileage is on the truck unless you know for sure it’s been done.
If you buy a new truck then do what the manual says and at the mileage it says. I work with some guys that our shop basically had to make them follow the manual. They didn’t want to do this or that because their truck was running fine. Well if you want it to keep running then do it. If it says to put a new filter on the DEF tank at 300k then do it. Stuff like that keeps little things from compounding into big things.
At the end of the day fuel costs money. I’d be curious what they’re true 90 day average is on this truck. The fuel surcharge is based on 6mpg so the farther you can get on the other side of 6 the more money you put in your pocket too.
And tweaking coworkers about their fuel economy is a hobby of mine. Went on vacation in January and was down in Mexico. I got all of the usual “must be nice” comments. I told them all I was doing was spending the difference in our fuel cost and after Mexico I still had another $12k to spend on more vacations this year.
