    Interesting that the turned up.c15 gets such better economy than the 475. Theyre pretty close trucks.

    The last truck, (Cascadia, DD15 500, 13 speed, 3:42s,) was around 8 most of the time. Combination of light and up to 43,000# in the box.

    I have a picture on my phone of the last 200 miles coming out of CA once, running at 55 mph with 13,000# on, and a light cornering head wind, showing 11 mpg.

    Avg lifetime at (2years) on this current truck, 2018 w/550 Cummy... 6.5, and run 85mph, full speed every chance i get 80k or 40k loaded...so if i was to care more about fuel use id prob be well over 7 all the time.. but that savings to me is not worth my “personal” time so i turn-n-burn lead foot...
