Why Cascadias?

Nice numbers, where was this run recorded from, mostly flat, or some mountains, I can't get my S/A Cascadias grossing 50,000 into those numbers, but we pull "dirty" loads, no van.

 

I wonder what makes yours having 9.5 mpg.

 

Why you are asking that weird question? Yes, I'm a trucker and a student attending local diesel repair training center. I experienced every truck I drove in my life from 1992 fld to 2012 Cascadia.

 

Il and Mo pretty much flat. But a weekly average I'm around 8.5 mpg heaviest load is 44500#

The 2014 Cascadias have been tweaked newer more efficient engines few different body mods. Going slow helps. This truck has the vorad anti collision and predictive cruise.

Cascadias are like every other class 8 truck: The driver's technique is responsible for as much as 30% of the fuel mileage. When I drive my '09 flat out as hard as I can (usually because of schedule pressure) with a heavy load, I can run my fuel economy right into the ground. Real quick.

 

True but like I said the 14 has new exterior cab no more cb antennas, reshaped side mirrors new and improved side skirts and bat wings. (Introduced in 13) more efficient Detroit engines drive train improved. But yes in the end it comes down to the driver and how they drive.
