    That's a good point - tech is great but real world is important. Maybe they should have added some dirty water to the wind tunnel.

    Nobody can. Thats true. I repeated it 1000 times and will repeat again: nobody drive what they trying to design. Its a shame that women with 3 grade elementary school education trying to design truck sleeper interior, etc.

    Only blatant clueless "engineers" unable to design "one hand" operating sleeper window. ireful3-vi.gif

    Just flipped 80,000 on my 2014 model. Still only getting 5.2 - 5.8 if I want to do 57mph on flats I can get 7.2 grossing 78,000 but in PA, WV, NC, SC, OH I only get 6mpg if I go slow.

    So average for me is 5.5 - 5.8 averaging 65-72mph

    Okay, this is my latest trip average from Windsor On to Belvidere IL. March 19-20, 35-37 Fahrenheit, W-NW wind 15mph with 30mph wind gusting. Mainly flat highway with a little city traffic, two pic ups, two cold starts. 40,200lbs in the box one way, 26,000lbs return. My cruising speed is 59-60mph.
