    Yeah but how much do you have to pay to get out of Montana?

    Depends where you want to go. You're certainly not going to pay.

    The OM is checking her sources to see if Opus was in fact in the seat of that gunship.

    So, pulling 110k lbs up a 20 degree mud road will drop the old mpg to just 4mpg.

    Unlikely a 55ton truck could pull a 20% mud road even ironed up.

    I wish that my truck had a gauge that showed instantaneous mpg, sadly it doesnt. The saving grace that allows me to get about 4mpg is almost always being empty one way.
    My haul just before I got hurt, was 803 kilometers per day, almost exactly 499 miles per day, and i used right around 470 to 490 liters per day, which Google tells me is about 124 to 130 US gallons. So almost 4 mpg was what I was getting. This haul wasn't as bad on fuel as some were for sure.
    My sister is now doing it, and she is burning up almost exactly the same amount of diesel per day in her truck.
