    Best trip ever!!!! Got to dead head home from Little Rock. 380 miles. Ran a 9.95 mpg. Kinda mad I was hoping to get at least 10.0... but cant complain. Ran 55 the whole way. That should have helped me out alot. My question its how hard is it to get you mpg up when its around 6.7?

    You have to have a easy driving style. When you take off run half to three quarters throttle when you stop act like only have two axles with breaks. Keep the truck under 60. Early in the quarter not hard. Later in the quarter it is quite a chore.
