wow 4700.00 a month for a truck did you bump your head?????? plus fuel last week I spent 2650.00 on fuel alone on 3300 miles thinks he is making money how could you at that monthly payment. come on guys wake up,,,, you will never get home cause you have to make the payments,, just amazing when I leased my old truck a new 2001 classic xl the payment was 2254.36 a month but back then fuel was under 2.00 a gallon , drove that truck 1.5 million miles before up grade just wait when he has to go to k,w, for work at over 100.00 an hour plus parts ,,and has to pay that bill on top of truck payment, going broke before he knows it just saying

With OP mpg ( at 8mpg for arguments sake ) he will use $1000 dollars less than you for the 3300 miles. A savings of $4000 dollars per month in comparison to you.
So who's the one that bumped their head.JimmyBones, ironpony, Time4Change and 9 others Thank this. -

hal380 Thanks this.

Probably 100% of the lower mpg in the freightliner was due to driving habits.
tangerineGT and hal380 Thank this. -
tangerineGT, old time, Joetro and 1 other person Thank this.

driving habits make a huge difference now when I go home out through PA I get about 6.5 mostly cause it floored the whole way to 62 mph .. lol
Edit : and that 8.7 was @ 79,000 out through Nebraska from coloradoOffender Thanks this. -
I have an 03 Columbia Midroof, Detroit 60, 430hp. 62mph (by choice)
Flatbed, oversize, tarped loads
I average now 8.5mpg.
But
That's 450 miles loaded and 450 miles dead head return trip.
