Always by hand, never trust gauges for mpg accuracy. Most lie-o-meters read high although strangely that unit reads low.Rideandrepair, Dadetrucking305 and DUNE-T Thank this.

X15's right? Are your trucks governed or not?Rideandrepair and Midwest Trucker Thank this.

Hopeful with the APUs you will get closer to the 8 MPG on Fleet.Rideandrepair, TallJoe and Midwest Trucker Thank this.

Yes, about half are 70 mph and half are 75 mph. Most miles being turned by the higher trucks.
Im hoping so too. One is at 70 mph and he’s 8.8 mpg right now which I’m beyond thrilled with. The other is at 75 and he’s at 8.0. Both the latest x15’s with endurant 12sp, 450/1650 TK apu.Rideandrepair, Dadetrucking305, 86scotty and 3 others Thank this. -
Your correct it’s often better for me in the mountains than the prairies.Rideandrepair, D.Tibbitt and Dadetrucking305 Thank this.

2015 Volvo 780, D13, iShift, 2.64 rears
Lifetime average 7.6
Always around 7.5 in the east pulling as light of loads as I can find (probably 15k average) running 70ish mph.
Just ran from MS to OR with 30k in the box at 68 mph and am around 6.8 mpg. I'm about to pull heavier headed NE to SE and am curious what it will be, hopefully i'll maintain 6.75 or so if the wind is kind.
I have an APU and I use it, very little idle time.Rideandrepair and Dadetrucking305 Thank this. -
Depends upon the year of the truck. Our 2018s are regularly around 7.5-8. The 2019-2020s are around 8-8.5, and our 2021-2022s are 8.5-9 mpg. All pulling reefers in the Midwest, usually 75-80k. Limiters set at 62/65/68 pedal/cruise/pass, and all are DD15 465, 12-speed Eaton auto shifts.
