Is that on the on board computer? Bear in mind the UK gallon is bigger that the USA, you can probla add 20 percent to that.

I've had a lot of 5.9 Cummins 2500/3500 from 98 up to 2007 and generally get low twenties on a run and mid teens round town. 3500kg trailer doesn't afftect the MPGs a great deal in my experience.

Not had a 6.7 yet, your new truck looks cool, did you chop your old one in?

Yes that's very true.

That makes it super efficient 8-)

No I made the mistake of selling my last one about 18 months ago as I bought a Twisted Defender......Now THAT was a mistake...an expensive mistake. No matter what you do to them it's only ever gonna be a tractor
