22 mpg @ 75mph...and tuned such that it doesn't blow black at any EFI Live setting.
The last pre-2007 truck at work got about 9MPG...full-height (13'6") box, 250HP 7.2 Cat, 4.11 final drive. The emission trucks do not top 8MPG and usually get about 7, with lower boxes (12'6" or 13'), equal or less power (250 or 220) from smaller engines (Cummins 6.7s), and TALLER gearing (3.91). One tractor has never topped 5MPG in 150,000+ miles. (The pre-2007 tractors got 6.5-8MPG.)
