Congratulations. Will you actually use that much diesel in a season?

Seems to be a good time to fill up. When I had a diesel pickup the fuel
was cheaper than gasoline. For a while diesel was more expensive than
gas around here. Gas and diesel have both been relatively low for the
last few months but gas took a jump last week and diesel dropped.
