Was just curious what kind of mileage you guys are getting with the new aero trucks? I heard some guys are getting 9mpg but over on the west coast I'd have to say that's too good to be true. Coming from Washington to California I get 4.1 through the mountain passes and 6.2 on the California flats, average about 5.5 with a 379 Pete with a 6nz
What kind of mileage are you getting with these new aero trucks?

I run an International LT pulling a Chemical tanker. Out loaded and back empty. From 80 miles each way to over 600. Lot of 2 lane roads, curves and hills, along with maybe 35-40% Interstates. Very few loads that I hit over 6.1 mpg for a round trip and it's usually closer to 5.7.

Here’s my high tech tracking system. Weekly, lifetime, and last 4 weeks. I had my 4 week average up to 7.82 a while back, but the hurricane force winds in the Midwest the last few weeks took me way down. I’m just now starting to get everything headed back the other direction. I can look back in my calendar and figure out a week I went to WA out of MN and see what it was.

Last trip just got back home had 3800 miles and was 34k going out on a 4 stop to east coast from MO and strait back with 32K got 7.8 MPG driving speed limit 65-72 Truck has a little over 10K. Will get into the mid 8's pretty easy on lighter loads doing speed limits of 65-70.

This was a round from the Midwest out to WA and back. If I recall I had roughly 40k on going out and 28k or so on coming back.
