The key to mountain fuel mileage is find the speed you can hold at 1300rpm. At least thats what works for my ride. 475cat 18spd 3.25rear
What is your MPG?

Yup! I totally agree, it seems that 1300-1350rpm is the sweet-spot.
-
6.53, but I ran full speed to make I early and pick up another load for the weekend. No complaints.
-
Sunday's beep:
T--6.592
H--7.636
OOR--15.844
That OOR included 947 miles from my weekend load. (Ft. Smith to Dexter)JimTheHut Thanks this. -
Four fuel stops last week...8.17, 6.94, 7.82, 7.21. Sunday 061613 beep was T: 7.145, H: 7.539, OOR: 5.515. Yep gravity does work but have to be patient enough to wait for it and willing to be passed by the Amish when putt putting up the hills. Unfortunately, last weeks trip down 77 to Carolina was accompanied by heavy wind rain and foot of student hence the 6.94. Lol.

Fuel report says 6.9 for the week. Not bad. Truck said 6.53

6.9........................

7.509 mpg....8.183 oor

Hub is 7.65, oor 12.5% and dropping. I got shafted on oor when I first switched to this dedicated account. I'm hoping to get it below 10% by the end of the month. I was at 30%+ 6 weeks ago!As for mpg, 3-5 hours of stop and go city driving every day can be a killer!
-
Im up to 7.5, oor% 10. Not too bad. Made my goal, so now it up to 7.6
