    It would've been but this blowout cost me a rim and some other miner damage. Also the roadside took over 8 hours in West Texas. Ruined my early load to CA.

    I won't plug another super single. Wish I hadn't been such a cheep skate. lol

    I'll always get up a hill, just take s little longer. Lol
    Besides, I don't go west of I-35 so I only have hills, no mountains

    That should be a very fuel efficient set up. Please keep us posted on mpg, I am very interested.

    That how I spec'd it. I averaged 8.47 with 400k miles on one of my JCT trucks. Looking for 9+on this one. I haul light and don't go west

    I barely have hills let alone mountains also. But, I only run Texas with the occasional run into Oklahoma. I've gotten lazy at tracking my mpg (I need to get back on that), but I was averaging 8.2mpg. Pretty good for alot of city driving I think.
     
    Steel Tiger and Scoot 1971 Thank this.

    City driving will kill MPG in any setup. Lol
