I was coming downhill from Albuquerque to Amarillo, and had an honest 35 mph tail wind. Filled up in Amarillo and used pencil and paper to come up with 14.1 mpg or so. I don't even remember what the lie-o-meter said. :)fj12ryder wrote:
Hey, if you say so. I pulled a 12,000 lb. 5th wheel with a 2001 Dodge dually six-speed, and got 12 mpg at times. Never saw 13 mpg, let alone over 14 mpg. Just color me very skeptical.
That truck with the 6 speed stick is about the most fuel efficient truck out there. I assume you had 4.10's?
