So did a trip from MO to Ks 7.4MPG 38K Ks to NY, MA 4 drop Was 7.9 on first drop and went into mountain areas and dropped down to 7.7 and went back to 7.8 on Final drop. Going back to MO from NY with 11200LBS load so will see how it works. Took an off route into the mountain area for the fun of it. I was on pace to do better on the way to NY until that #### mountain area. This last load above was done with dead head to get the Pick up load. Same place pick up as this one I just finished. I think I will be in the 9's coming back if this side trip doesn't ruin it,.
On the way back from New York I averaged 9.3 mpg with a 12k load. All in for this trip was a average of 8.4 mpg. Not to bad!
Mine seems to be breaking in pretty good so far. I am gonna go a little longer before I change the oil. Was gonna do it this weekend but changed my mind. Might go out one more time and then have it done. What weights are you running on those two trucks? I also seen a few shift logic I want to change and will do that when I get the PM service done. Might add a 1/10 more or may not be able to tell at all but worth a try.
Well this trip went from Mo to Kent Wa. Was 20k and man I thought I was gonna get great mpg starting out. Got all the way up to i90 with 9.2 mpg. Then the wind hit all across SD. Ha ha. Ended up with 8.2 mpg getting up here. Not too bad but not what I wanted.
How can you know what your fuel mileage is after just 100 miles. I hope you aren’t depending on the read-out on the dash for that info
Because I fueled up in right before getting on 90. Hand figured and it is more then 100 miles from kcmo to I 90
Final part of the trip was from WA to CO and it was 8.4 MPG. CO to MO back home was 9.6 MPH Over all trip was total 8.5 MPG.
