That's outstanding.
I'm very excited. I sure am still learning how to drive it and we do a lot of idling (short trips, getting air up, loading and unloading running the wet line, etc)
I think that's awesome
that's better than half of 2 trucks getting 12mpg. |
Not bad at all Lone! My pathetic Chevy 2500HD (6.0 gas) only gets 8 MPG with a full trailer load (hauling the
Red Beast or the a full 10K dump trailer) and 9 MPG with an
empty (or near empty) trailer.
The Chevy dealer keeps calling me trying to get me to "trade up" to a smallish 2008 Chevy diesel dump truck... but it can only happen after I win that damn PowerBall lottery.
