    46.8L/100km is 5mpg. 43 is 5.5mpg, 39 is 6mpg and 52 is 4.5mpg to give you the equivalents. You may just have to dive into your manual to figure out how to work your way through the computer to reset the units and running total.

    To me the 2.4mpg looks like a fixed number on the guage and the needle will just move up or down based on if you are having better or worse mileage. But it seems very weird they would set the base at 2.4mpg.

    To reset it hold in the trip meter until it resets to zero. It tracks your average milage for the current trip.

    The T800 is pretty heavy, can't remember what the tare weight is for just the tractor on the one I drive, but I lose at least 1000kg carrying capacity compared to other fluid haulers with the combined weight of my tractor and trailer. Haven't lost a day to downtime though since new which is impressive considering all the trouble they were having with the def system not long ago.

    Good to see you finally got a real job again Nate!! Don't know how you rate a truck with lower mileage than mine, going to have to get the boss to buy me a new one this spring and give mine to our new driver!
