What kind of RPM's do you get? What about MPG?
Just curious what others out there are getting as I look at TT options. I've heard that 2400RPM and 7.5MPG is pretty standard. Is it wrong?

Diesel Cummins 5.9 at 61-65mph highway
Small trailer, fold down to truck cap height 16-17.
23 foot HILO trailer, slightly higher than truck cap, 15-17.
Truck camper (very aero TC) pulling cargo trailer 15-17.
Towing in Rockies I have seen 20, but that is with a manual shift and coasting downhill a great deal. Hills that I can coast down always give me much better mpg with diesel because it is so over-powered/ over-torqued for hauling campers that the hills do not take a toll going up, and are free going down.
Better mpg in CO than in FL for sure.
The same thing with a gas motor, 10-12.
You are not stupid, you already know, and everyone reading, not everyone posting, knows that each person has unique mpg numbers, but if you read enough you start to have enough data to graph the numbers in your head and understand the bell curve aspect and what is normal, what is possible, and what is just bad.
