What do y'all set your cruise at? Personally, I hate to take it off 65, but that's just me. Would like to know what you other Prime drivers have it set to since I seem to pass you guys so much.

Company trucks are 57 foot and 62 cruise. I run weather and traffic dependent on my speed. I think most run under 60 for better fuel mileage.
-
I stay about 55. This truck is killing my fuel mileage. It's a daily struggle to get it near 7. No idea what is wrong, but I'm ready for some help with it.
-
God I hope thats not a new setting. My truck is set at 62 for both.
I set mine at 56 or 57 depending on my mood. I get mid 7s to low 8s in a Pre DPF (no regen) 08 Century.
This truck gets turned in later this week. -
My mpg is high 6/low to mid 7. Good enough for me, I guess. Loads always seem to be heavy with old trailers, too.

Robert, JCW is home over Turkey Day. His user ID is jccwall. He never was one for the shift key. Send him a PM, he'll be happy to "see" what he can do to help you. I know his is a ltwt and yours isn't, but he trained in the team trucks, and as an ex-mechanic, he can do some trouble-shooting.
-
Are you company side or lease side?
-
Lease. I drive a 2011 Pete.
-
Well, I did have my suspicions you were lease, glad to know my radar isn't borked.

I guess if you are happy w/ your fuel efficiency, then that's what matters. -
That's about the best it's gonna get from what I've been seeing these past three months.
