That was a little out of line, sorry. Can you give a better response than a shakin' head? I don't think 18mpg is out of line. My truck does that, my brothers, friend and numerous others I know.

"big rigs avg 8to9 grossing 80000 lbs ponder on that for a while!!"

Ok, I"ve pondered. Our medium duty truck chassis, which never gross over 30,000 lbs. seldom get better than 9 mpg.

So what is YOUR opinion of acceptable fuel mileage empy @70mph and towing @70mph? I've already stated mine from what my truck gets. In my opinion these new diesels are WAY off!!
