    I only really get a little over 3.0 when I am over 180k. But I got almost 4.0 with this last one but I was only 165k or so.

    It is the side skirts and an aero hood...and maybe a strong tailwind

    Same here for fuel mileage.
    I hate tailwinds, I'd prefer no wind at all. I find with a tailwind I don't get enough airflow through the rad and my fan is always cutting in and out. With no wind it runs over thermostat temp, but under fan temp...

    You mean the former heavyhauler that's proud of his $150-200k?

    I hear it every time I eat in a truckstop restaurant. I'd bet the multi axle guys hear it as soon as they pull into a parkinglot.

    "Yeah, I used to heavyhaul. Pulled a 19 axle for Cannon Express (or some other van company)"

    Really? Why did you quit?

    "I couldn't make any money. I make much more money now. I am a lease operator at USA."

    Why do people feel the need to lie? If you like where you are in life, regardless of the wagon you pull, go enjoy your life. If you don't like where you are, change it. Don't lie. Trolls are sooo...uninteresting.
