    Well, I got 8 MPG last year (since March) in this full sized Cascadia. Started running in the colder weather come January and it's way down. Starting to get back to normal now. May want to see how you do once it warms up.

    I know IP mentioned after last winter he had priced out a wind skirt? Don't know if he went with one this year.

    Just be happy that you don't have a new 550hp Cummins. A friend, that I haul with, has 3 of them over the last few months. (brand new KW W900's) They are only getting 4-4.5mpg. Ouch.
