    We are looking at purchasing another truck. We are current running a 2006 Kenworth T2000 and getting about 6.5. I have read good reviews on both the Cascadia and Lonestar as far as gas mileage. It looks like the Cascadia may get a little better than the Lonestar when the DT12 transmission is paired with the DD15. I realize that gas mileage really depends on the driver and varies a lot. But anyone owning either of these trucks your input would be greatly appreciated. Gotta love that Lonestar for sure but I am running a business so the bottom line will be mileage and reliability.

    If you don't run Cali your best choice is a glider .. Based on your choices cascadia have a better track record but a new truck is a crapshoot on dependability and mileage.. Don't be surprised if you find that your current truck turns out to be cheaper to run
