Well just got back from a trip. From KCMO with 3 drops at 35K. First drop was in Nebraska and the last two drops was in WY north of Cheyenne. On the way up drove speed limit up to 70 mph and got 7.8 MPG. Drove back empty and was figured in the rate so already planned on it. On the way back I had to take a few back roads since the wind shut down light loads in WY on I25 and I was empty. I got a whopping 10.5 MPG and averaged for the trip 8.8 MPG. I also got lucky and found 3.98 a Gallon so that helped a little.

$3.98?!
I’ve thought a lot about this thread, talking to my buddy who was in a Volvo and now in a 579, and my Volvo experience, brief 579 experience, and now in a T680. If I’m buying a new truck, I’m buying a Volvo. For me, one can’t beat the maneuverability, the ability to look out the left window for backing, and the flat steering wheel that allows to get up on it crank the heck out of it. The 579 I drove and this 680 are frustrating to maneuver, compared to a Volvo. There are some KW interior qualities I like way more. The Pete rode the best and was the quietest cab. But, Volvo maneuverability is more important for me.singlescrewshaker and Siinman Thank this. -
