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?

Many folks use a single tank refill as their mpgs. And some even short fill the tank so they can report high mpgs.....or use a older gazz station with a slopped driveway so the tank will short fill.
Some folks use their trucks onboard DIC and report that as a mpg number.
Also where one lives and travel on trips makes a difference. When we head to the Rockies its a 650 mile east to west straight run on US-412 from where I live in eastern OK on out to Raton, NM.
And from around 720' in elevation at home to around 7000' at Raton,NM. We've pulled it many many times with the rig or a car or just the truck. Going up will show poor mpgs vs coming back down.....as much as 4-5 mpg differences depending on winds.
The winds blows hard in the plain states much of the time. Prevailing wind are south to north. Many trees out here grow with their tops bent to the north. I've got some fantastic single tank mpgs going north on I-35 or other major US north/south highways. Average on several tank refills also eliminate those best tank figures.
I prefer a mpg average for three tanks (pencil numbers) at a minimum. More refills the better for a average mpgs.
Eliminates those best or worst single tank refill numbers.
