Whats your MPG?

i drive a 1987 day cab exhd 379 and pull a 28' bathtub
powered by a 315 HP Mechanical Cummins 13 spd
i dont know the gear ratio, but it feels high.
i always pull 25 ton loaded...i bounce back most times
MPG is 6 in summer and 5 in winter...doing 62-63, if i put my foot in it,
about 4.0-4.5
my terrain is 50/50 paved roads and quarries
i hope this helps you, sincerely RJ.

I got a '06 379 with a ACERT C-15 and a 18 speed. The truck has a 272in wheel base and no fairings. I get between 5.2 and 5.8 depending on my weight. I have seen a couple of 6.1, but I was pretty little for those. I pull 53' boxes for Schneider so you can imagine the drag I have behind me. As for speed I run 60 almost every where with an occasional 65 thrown in there. With the work I have done on the truck I just need a different ecm or the pitts box to take advantage of the high flow mufflers and different things. I'm guessing I will end up in the mid 6 range when I'm done.
