    I'm in a 2013 KW T660 with JCT. No Cummins. It's a paccar. Average MPG is 6.48. Worst is 5.73. The guys running the 2014 Cascadias are putting $100-$200 per week into their pocket that I'm dropping on fuel based on MPG alone. I am counting down the days till I can trade up. 58 days and counting.

    Does the T660 look good? Yes indeed. Does it get good fuel mileage? Hell no. All of our newer trucks come with APUs.

    ???

    The cascadia has the dd15 in em. Far superior fuel mileage in both my prior experience with them and drivers here at jct that have one.

    I mean sure any driver can put his foot into it and ruin the fuel economy of any tractor, but with appropriate driving averaging a whopping 6.48 in my paccar engine t660 is an absolute chore.

    Like I mentioned I cannot wait to trade up.

    Is that with the fuel pedal to the floor? And is it 68 with cruise control on?

    Yes on both, but just barely on the pet policy thing. It's somewhere around $2k for the pet deposit.
