Fuel Mileage

2017 pete 579 end dump with an MX13 13 speed. I average around 6mpg currently HOWEVER i have only driven my truck 3900 miles as of this post. So small sample size.

 

01 Mack Vision 460. Low gearing, 5mpg now, was 4mpg.

 

Freightliner columbia cat c 13 dry van 6.6 mpg 10 speed ,3.55

 

2016 389 Pete with an isx pulling an 9 car easy loader. About 500k on dash mostly interstate. I've averaged 5.3 miles. My friend had the same set up and he also get the same mpg.

 

97 W9, 550 kitty, 18 speed, 3.55s, pulling a hopper around 90k gross, gets a solid 5.5 average, sucks fuel like a 747 when the wind is blowing 40 mile an hour though.

 

2015 389 glider Detroit Series 60, 11 car Cottrell
In warmer months I will just barely bump 5 loaded both ways running about the speed limits most of the time. 4.5-4.7 in the cold months. Mty 50% I can get 6 in the warm months. I recently checked my charge air cooler and it was leaking. I hope to bring the mileage up slightly with the new charge air cooler.
