    Well, you need to get something figured out. MY '09 PInnacle with a 445 hp MP8 has 151K on the ticker, LOV MPG of 4.8 mpg, but on a daily basis on the interstate (and I run well above sea level) but this past Monday 5/3, I went from Denver to Imperial Ne. and back, mty heading out and 79,450 coming back and I averaged 5.8 mpg rnd trip # 66 mph. Mine is governed at 75 mph (cruise is goverened at 66 mph, long story), I can get 5.9 mph empty with the cruise set at 75 over a long distance.

    But back to the OP, on a good day I pass every SWIFT truck I see, on a bad day, one or two slip by but usually when they do I'm either exiting the interstate, entering the interstate, or stopped at a light off the interstate and watching them go by. BTW, about 4 weeks ago I passed a SWIFT truck in I-70 heading from Goodland to Denver, 5 miles after I passed him I had a blow out. Limped into Flagler, Colo. for the repair, 60 minutes later I was back on the road and I caught that same SWIFT truck (I remembered the trailer number) just as we hit the Aurora City limit sign :biggrin_2559:.

    YOU'RE the clueless one. I'm not the one that needs anything explained to.

    What is up with all the insults? This is not the political thread. This is a swift bashing thread. Please mind your manners while posting here...:biggrin_2559:
