The license plate indicates that this is a US Army car in Germany.

Looks like that F250 has the Powerstroke badge so fuel cost isn't as bad.

Yes, a lot of the times only one tank is really used. There were multiple issues with these tanks; a good idea, but bad implementation.

Twice the probability of gauge failure. My dad's truck had a mystery tank that registered E at all times. Very annoying when you fill it up on accident, you have no clue when the truck is going to sputter out and die. I would flick on the mystery tank during straight highway sections and switch to the working tank during curves and precarious sections of the road.

Those Chrysler turbos can be made to go very fast relatively easily.
