Hi guys
I am trying to collect some data so I can get a better idea of what type of truck to buy.
Please list the following:
What type of truck (specs) and trailer?
What's your MPG?
How heavy are your loads?
What type of terrain do you travel?
thanks,
Andrew

2003 W900L C15 MBN bridge set at 1045hp
, 18 speed, 3.55s, 290" wheelbase, pulling 48' utility spread axle.
Always over weight with 6 feet of gap between truck and trailer.
5.6-7mpg depending on wind and terrain. I run midwest to west coast over the mountains.Stroked F550 Thanks this. -
Not bad, but not great. I'm looking at doing a few things to improve the mileage a little, and I know it'll get better as the weather warms. I've seen 6.35 MPG this winter on just a straight run between fuel stops through the big hills (Las Vegas to Great Falls); and I generally run 65-70 mph.Stroked F550 Thanks this.
