    God, i love Southern diesel. Filled at the yard with that winter blend sludge and pencilled 6.42 mpg, dash showed 6.5. Filled up, got a 4k heavier load, running the same terrain and dash is showing 7.8. Only difference is the fuel. Setting cruise on 63 to hit that 1250 sweet spot on both legs. Truck is running good, no issues so far.

    Woke up to a bone chilling 58 this morning in Choundrant, LA. Supposed to be in the mid 60s once this cloud cover burns off.

    I was there Friday. Tarping in full sunlight. It's not as nice as you might think it is.

    Well, I made it through this whole thread finally. Very interesting and made for some good reading. Now if my Eagles can win the Super Bowl that will make a great season complete.
