Man hits 1 MILLION MILES in Ford F-250... in four years!!!

This is pretty unbelievable.

I thought that Triniper4mance's 400,000 miles on his Yaris in 3 1/2 years was nuts.

So about $67,000 in maintenance costs...what about gas?
Let's say an average of 18mpg (might be generous), that's 55,555 gallons of gas! At today's price of $2.80 as a 4 year average, that's...wait for it....

$155,555 in gas!

So this truck has cost about $263,000.00 to buy and operate.
Hope the job pays well!

For a gas truck pulling a 4-5000 pound load at highway miles he probably gets no better than 10 mpg. Probably 8. Our Dodge diesel gets 12 to 14 mpg pulling a 5000 pound trailer at 65 mph.
