.....MY RIG gets 8.6 at 68 mph all the time now with the trailer and the generator running all nite in a Truck Stop....I'm have a Volvo with-n-14/ 500hp-[turned up from 475]-10 speed and 3:58's not singled with bed and 12k# trailer....bobtail-I get in the high 9's average and if I watch my driving and really concentrate on what I'm doing I can get 10 plus a little.....but less than 20k a year...so what?....I might have to get a few more gallons when I top off the tanks each day....one day I used 70 gallons total and was busting my butt getting to North Carolina and the next day I slacked off/day dreamed and needed 66 gallons....big deal!.....fuel mileage is not the thing I needed to be concerned about....my personal comfort and safety is.....and 4 gallons a day is a very small price for both IMHO..........geofkaye
