    So I am looking to purchase some new Trucks with the biggest focus being on fuel mileage. I am not looking for a debate, I am looking for information from the real World.

    We run the lower 48 states so we run everything from Mountains to flats.

    What I would like to know from those kind enough to contribute is what you have for a truck and what your lifetime average for mileage is please.

    Truck
    Engine
    Transmission
    Gears

    Thank you in advance

    We are only plated for 54,000 #. But that goes to my real World question, I would like to know what other peoples trucks are getting. Not Spec one for me. If that makes sense?

    And you pull what kind of trailer? Or are they just straight trucks? 54,000 is nothing when comparing to trucks out here with 80,000 + pulling these roads.

    Our new t680 / Paccar does a little bit over 7, at 88,000 lb at the speed limit in the PNW.

    If you want fuel economy, the driver is the biggest factor.
