Thanks for the words of wisdom guys. Can't seem to find the fuel tank capacity of the 300SE? My 300D has a 23 plus gallon tank which makes for fill ups every two weeks. I presume my winter fill ups will be once a week (or more) with this beast-oh well. Taking off in the diesel at 6am in the winter, plugged in or not, is no fun.

Oregon, Illinois is a nice little town. Took the family there last year to see the Lorado Taft's Black Hawk sculpture overlooking the river. Beautiful!
