    2016 Cascadia evo. Dd15 Eaton 10 spd manual, 3.42 rears. Flat land 65 mph I can maintain 8.2 by my ppl net and using pump to pump matches that. Slowing to 62 I have pulled 8.7. I don't do full throttle take offs shift at 1300 rpms an use cruise. Normal driving at 70 just trying to get places quick like I did all this week 7.7 mpg 5 hours idle time all week been in cool weather no need. All week have been grossing between 70-74k. I can't complain.
