I need a truck for work. I have parked the 2500, and have been using my 30 year old Dakota (pretty civil if driven civilly), well my girlfriend has been using our fuel sipping Suzuki.
Even in this crazy shitty weather we’ve been dealing with for the last couple months, just commuting in the Dakota and a few odd side trips after work, i’m stretching things and going a month per tank of fuel. The old girl is still carbureted and just a 2 Wheel Dr (no extra drive train) so even with a V8, as long as I keep my foot out of it and think out every move it gets pretty decent fuel mileage, and it doesn’t need to be warmed up like the diesel truck, nor do I have to take it for a DPF burn every couple of weeks due to the commuting.
Yup....mine is a 1.4 turbo. Had a minvan before that, wife totalled it...Kinda glad she did.....lol
If it weren't for the 8 speed tranny it would just make a lot of noise and look pretty in the sun.
Just wait till they raise the GST .So, most of us have to have one vehicle that’s fuel efficient for long trips, and a second vehicle that can haul cargo, etc…so the answer is at least a third vehicle or two per household that would also need to be registered, that we can maybe use five months of the year in our climate???
Patrick Brown, the mayor of Brampton, Ont., is calling on the federal government to freeze the federal carbon pricing increase on April 1, arguing “now is the wrong time for any new burden.”
April Fools Day. Again the irony does not escape the nation or at least shouldn’t….
In a letter sent to Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, Brown mentioned “record energy costs driven by inflation, government policy, and supply concerns” as factors affecting those in his community who cannot afford the currently high gas and energy prices.

The federal government is set to raise the price on pollution next month to $50 per tonne of greenhouse gas emissions — up 25 per cent from last year’s $40 per tonneapple.news
“The supply concerns caused by Vladimir Putin’s brutal invasion of Ukraine and other inflationary pressures have made energy unaffordable for many. Canceling the increase on the carbon tax right now is the right call,” he wrote in the letter sent Wednesday.
“No new burdens should be on the backs of taxpayers during a period of economic upheaval.”
The federal government is set to raise the price on pollution next month to $50 per tonne of greenhouse gas emissions — up 25 per cent from last year’s $40 per tonne pricing. It should continue rising $15 each following year until 2030 until it costs $170 per tonne.
In his letter, Brown stressed that the pandemic has been an “economic tidal wave” for residents and small businesses in Brampton. He added that some are “facing a choice” between filling their vehicle with gas and paying their home heating bill or paying rent or buying groceries. The rest at the above LINK.
I had to dig out the 2500 this morning, as I needed the 4 x 4 feature to get a trailer parked that a driver couldn’t get parked in our yard…. And after getting stuck four freaking times where I had to unhitch the trailer to get the truck unstuck four times, I left the trailer right in the middle of the road Isle….. and contacted the Yarding Company and told them they can dig out their Bobcat and call me when they’re done.
We got some snow overnight
