    I have been looking for data on MPG and after a lengthy search through this and other websites, I have found none that are current or helpful. Since we are all at Prime, we have some pretty standardized trucks that might help everyone get to know the differences between the DD15, DD13, ISX13 and ISX15. Might even see some Paccar engines.

    If you would, post your weekly data for the benefit of the posters here. I would suggest you post the following:
    Truck year, Make, Model
    Engine Make Model & HP (if known)
    Miles driven loaded & Empty, and routes
    Weight loaded
    Weather & avg speed driven
    Any other info that would help, such as driving techniques to enhance your MPG's or conditions that would adversely affect your MPG.

    Got that site, but still hope to see some of us gathering data here. Better way to evaluate, since ratios are pretty much the same...

    2011 Pete 387 with 450 hp.
    Eh, don't really pay attention to the other stuff. Been getting newer trailers lately, got one recently that was only a few weeks old maybe. Reefer doors are about to come off. How lovely.
    Last week, my mpg was like 6.5. I average maybe 63 mph.
     
    silenteagle Thanks this.
