    I had an 07, 14.0 Series 60; 515hp; 10sp OD; 3.58 rears on 22.5 tires, condo with cab extenders but no tank fairings. Average 5.75 (IFTA REPORTS) running 65-70 western half of the country. I probably could have done better by slowing down, idling less, etc.

    Not without MUCH more info. Engine size, rear ratio,trailer type, cab style, area of operation, but most of all your driving habits. If you are going to be a successful O / O , you should know that. It takes more than buying a truck to be sucessful, it takes a little bit of knowledge.
