If doing a buck ten towing that is to be expected. What miledge do you normally get? A lot has to do with driving habits. Do you drive a steady speed and use cruise control or is there a lot of hard acceleration on hills or passing? Is the truck properly tuned? Are the tires properly inflated?
I live in south central BC, if I keep the speed around 95-100 KMH my 05 ctd will go to Vancouver and back comfortably on one tank of fuel. 110+ I have to top up about 125 km from home.
This is the first opportunity I've had for an empty hwy run with this truck. So no baseline to go off of. I just thought it would do better empty. The truck is well taken care of, it was divided highway all the way, used cruise the whole way, set at the legal limit of 110 Km/h. No hard acceleration, and it's between Manitoba and Saskatchewan so barely any hills. Tires are properly inflated.
