Default Fuel MPG

Im curious what others are getting...


We've been having some discussions and it seem i (mysteriously get good mpg)...admittedly i have a heavy foot, i have been typified (by more than one LEO) as an aggressive driver.

We are 42 feet, single rear axle, MBE 4000 (450hp) and ZF/Meritor 12 speed (manu-matic).

We tip the scale at 36k lbs (moderately loaded w/ fuel & 220g of fresh water), not including the ('12) Jeep Wrangler Sport (2 door soft top) that weighs in around 4200lbs

We consistently obtain 9.9 MPG, and have rarely seen lower than 8.0.

We have seen as high as 13 and change (low speed) secondary roads where we were barely able to maintain 60mph (fog & night driving) from Atlanta to Destin.

Towing 11k lb race/car trailer did not effect or mpg.
