You sure those are correct? 56,000 miles in 365 hours is 153.4 average mph!
Even 736 hours is an average of 76 mph, not realistic.

If I recall my idle time is about 1/3 of the total hours. Makes a difference if you live in the wide open spaces of Idaho vs the NYC metro area where I was living when I bought the truck....

Well our 2016 currently has the following;
Idle 385
Drive 2,119
Miles 73,222

Idle is 18% of drive and15% of total hours.
Total average speed is 34.5 mph.

2015 Ram Cummins, just under 87k miles and I bought it new. I'm currently showing the following:

WOW! Less than 4% idle hours.

2016

couple hundred idle hours

Fun fact, I checked my 2020 work truck and I'm averaging about 45mph including idle hours and over 50mph just driving hours.

Well average 32.2 mph for that 240,000 miles, makes me think, the park we are at we cover a 21 mile rails to trail pedestrian, equestrian, and bike trail. The 2007 diesel gator we use on the trail has 7,400 hours on it.

Those Yanmar diesels are really good.
