    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

    A rough calc on your fuel number puts you at just under 5mpg.

    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.

    When you have a financial and business wiz taking care of you it does not matter who bumped their head. How could you fail?. Plus prime is doing them a big favor to make sure they succeed.It's all good,No worries

    ...and how much of that lower MPG in the Freightliner was due to driving habits? I'm thinking that's the real story which has nothing to do with which OEM produced the truck/engine.

    Probably 100% of the lower mpg in the freightliner was due to driving habits.

    My freightshaker was getting 8.7 up u ntill I hit Arkansas in the mountains coming down to 540
    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 colorado
     
    Offender Thanks this.

    Flatbed, oversize, tarped loads
    I average now 8.5mpg.
    But
    That's 450 miles loaded and 450 miles dead head return trip.
