As for the truck, it was a 99 FLD120 flat-top, 430hp S-60 with 3.90 rears and a 10spd. Since I run empty and set my cruise at 60mph the whole trip (very boring tho) I managed to keep between 8.5-9.0mpg
I just bought a 387 this week tho, C13 470hp, 13spd and 3.36 rears, so hopefully it will get just a tad better. Even at .5mpg for the 2700 miles I'm saving about $125 a week
here's a pic of the old set-up and a pic of the new truck:
