19.5 MPG the .05 is off it making it 20 MPG because that would depend on the weight of your load, if the sun came up on the front or back of the trailer and if your tanks were full or half empty when you set out?

1) Trailer going to be Loaded or empty ?

5.3 at 70 mph running motor all night. 6.5 60mph cutting back on ide. some I think hard to guess till u do it a week or 2

and with the humidity down there. i'd guess there be lots of idling.
or are you all used to that crap and can sleep right through it.speeedy Thanks this. -
we have both 387's and t-2000's in our fleet with c15's with strait 10 speeds ( not super 10's) with company drivers in them and they average between 5& 6.5 depending on weight, terrain and idle time. ( I know a t-2000 is not a peterbuilt but it is esentially the same chassis )
speeedy Thanks this. -
