Hey everyone new guy here. I have a 2000 W9L C 15 6NZ 550, 3.55 rear 13 spd. I don't truck everyday. I farm also, pull mainly a hopper trailer on short runs and get anywhere from 5.8 to 6.2mpg. Pulling a spread dropdeck with big round hay bales overwidth with tons of drag usually just below 5mpg on 100 to 150mi runs. I run northern KS and southern NE. Weigh 80k with hopper and 60-65k with dropdeck and 30 big round bales.
KW900L fuel mileage?

Know the feelings. Pulled reefer for majority of my driving career and now Air Import / Export freights out of JFK in NY, where everything is a rush. Hell they're late before we even get the call for pick ups! That's why all our trucks are "wide opened" because once we see "daylight" we gone! As for fuel mileage, we don't get any because either we're stuck in traffic or we're flying. On top of which, even though we technically don't have mountains per say but enough small "hills" where you can rarely get a running start on (slow OTR trucks, container haulers, garbage/trash haulers, etc..) squatting in middle lanes because they'll fall off their tk and die if they ever move over so others could pass.
In our situation "aero dynamics" are foreign words and we don't use it.

I wasn't aware any kitty cat motor could go that slow without having major problems.
