fuel mileage

[dlong]

Any one with a t 250 know what kind of hours they are getting out of a tank of fuel under normal use if there is such a thing as normal use :-o

I know pushing snow with a 10' snow pusher I can get 8 hours out of a tank on my T200 and my buddy with a T250 gets about 7 hours out of a tank. Pushing snow with a snow pusher is extreem and if you are being productive the turbo will be stroked out almost the whole time. So lets see.... 8 hours and 25+ gallons....thats a bit over 3 gallons a hour at $4 per gallon...so about $12 per hour cost to run for just fuel. Almost as thirsty as my new Powerstroke that gets 10 MPG. This is nuts.
