I recently purchased a 2010 cascadia with the DD15. I have now driven 6000 miles and am averaging 6.7 mpg. Does this number seem low or is a real number. I calculate by hand every tank. I have gotten up to 7.5 and as low as 5.9. Anyone with a DD 15 have any info. Thanks
6.7 mpg on DD15

I purchased brand new Cascadia 2015 with DD15,
I have drove 154,000 on this truck, and satisfied so far on MPG.
It's getting 7,5 - 8,0 per gallon with heavy loads 37,000+lbs
And 9,5 - 10,5 per gallon on light loads 7,000lbs - 15,000lbs
With driving speed 70-75 MPHGemconllc and americanmadetrucker Thank this. -
I have a 2016 DD15. Getting the same as Mr.P. Great engine. Very pleased.

Progressive shift plays a huge role in overall fuel economy.Add to that, sometimes cruise burns more fuel on hilly terrain buy dumping fuel to maintain speed during a climb. bottom line fuel mileage is determined by driving habits.

I even noticed my DEF tank last less in the winter (3,500miles)
And gets about (4,800miles) in summer.
