Yes, fuel economy. For an OTR truck fuel is a large part of the total cost of ownership. It really doesn't matter how fast they can climb hills or anything else. They just need enough power to get the job done. They don't care if it burns diesel, gasoline, or coconut oil as long as the total cost of ownership is less.
But then that's for a truck that's on the road 8 or more hours a day, every day. That's not something I'm looking to do in a recreational endeavor. So for me anyway, any comparison to OTR trucks is apples to cumquats.
