550hpW900L said: ↑Well said Brick!
Here's mine
2003 W900L, C-15 CAT propably over 1000hp at the engine, 18 speed, 3.55s, 290"wb with a 48' spread axle reefer. Always 80,000lbs if not more, with about 4 feet in between sleeper and trailer, yes very un-aerodynamic.
Last trip from west coast and back i got 5.7mpg, with a very hot pyro reading do to turbo not pushing enough air for new ecm. With new turbo i bet ill be around 6mpg. This is pulling a very non aerodynamic reefer 4500 mile round tripClick to expand... -

D16 said: ↑Brickman said: ↑You are running mostly flat states,when I did coast to coast runs it was around 7 MPG.And with your speed at 75 MPH with non aerodynamic shape your MPG have to be around 5 or less,just be a realistic-don't tell us what you wish.Click to expand...
Flat states my ###! and I do not take kindly to you accusing me a lying.
The problem is that you have built the volvo up so much in your mind that you cannot handle the fact that a truck you absolutely hate is out doing you.
Here are my numbers you do the math and the next time you accuse me of lying you won't like what happens next.
This was the last run
1021 miles 179 gallons of fuel comes out to 5.7039
you do the math and then go hug your volvo and cryClick to expand... -

Exactly -
WOW, 5.2 mpg in a volvo,
I'm getting 5.3 mpg in a older fld with a 10 car open hauler. Please note sarcasm in first line! -
I'm getting 5.2 to 5.6 pulling dump wagons on short 35 mile runs with lots of turns and hills averaging 62-68mph.
