Hey look, I cant help it that people want to stay healthy with exercise by traveling the highways and byways of America all the while helping me get ahead in the fuel mileage department. My customers expect cheap rates, and it's my sole purpose to help them with that while providing a valuable public service with no extra expenses to Mr. and Mrs. John Q Taxpayer.tony97905, Broke Down 69, BigBob410 and 9 others Thank this. -
We were 5 mpg in the 80's and only about 7 and change 40 years later.
Your precious 9 mpg will happen in about another 40 years. If at all, based on electricity.Derailed Thanks this. -

If you’re going after fuel mileage look at what the big fleets are doing and copy them. Running at the weight you do will certainly help. I would think a Cascadia with the Detroit drivetrain and 2.64 rears would get you close to where you want to be. A healthy incentive for your drivers to help you reach your goal will also help, as they are a bigger factor in mileage than how the truck is set up.

Fuel cost is 15% of revenue to the truck, all miles accounted.
