See there is absolutely no reason I should be getting the same area of mileage that you guys get...

Our driver likes running 65-70mph when he's able, and even if he's narrow he's hauling a sail normally...he's found if he runs 55mph and takes it easy he can get 5.4-5.6mpg instead of his normal 4.7-4.8mpg range...we told him drive how he's happy, the extra fuel over a years time isn't worth us having an unhappy driver to deal with.


I would agree with you though...or customer who hauls grain can average 5.8mpg or so across 6 trucks, all 475-550hp at 80-85K gross every trip. They haul grain down and fertilizer or salt back every trip. 70 mile runs.

This truck never has got good fuel mileage the entire time I’ve drove it in the 3 different times.

We’re gonna try and get it lined out though.

Surely it can’t do worse than the 4.9-5.0 I’m getting now can it? Lol

That's kinda funny, I talked to the driver runnin the green triaxle daycab I put together, he's averaging 5.4mpg movin equipment every day. Almost always 100k+
