That rig will last longer then any 1 ton built today. You can get a nice used one for the price of a new 1 ton today. Though, 300-500 bill for fuel is crazy, however, you're not filling up as often. As for maintenance, it's a little more then a 1 ton due to bigger parts, but you're not going as often as a true owner operator of a rig like this that is working it daily pulling #20-#30k daily, stopping and going, inner city, etc. In most cased owning one of these in the long run could be cheaper then any 1 ton today
