Gas prices are down to 2.09/2.04 with diesel 50 to 60 cents higher. That is still way to high.Fuel has got to be a lot cheaper than that for folks like us who would like to do maybe 15K miles a year in traveling around the country.Gas at @ 9-11 or diesel at 11 to 13 is still expensive traveling.Friend of ours who is pulling a 3670RL with a 04 Dodge Diesel was just on the phone with me complaining that they are doing 11.5 MPG when everyone told him they would get 13/14 towing..welcome to the real world....He is going to install a banks system.Anyhow we are going over to hook up our truck to the 3670 to get some instruction on hooking and unhooking the fifth wheel since we are new to 5ivers.

Your friend will truly like the Banks system. We put the power pack, and exhaust brake with TransComman Module and Smart-lock on our Ford and it made a whale of a difference. Not only did we get a considerable increase in power but we got 1-2 mpg more than we did before.

He traded from a Motor home 4 /6 MPG to the Dodge and 3670 Montana.He was expecting better than 11.5MPG.Am sure the banks system will get at least 2MPG better ..that will make him happy
