    Straight Truck MPG Poll

    10 to 10.6 8.3 Cummins 280hp 3.9 Allison 6spd Auto 63mph Speed kills mpg it will drop to 9 at 70 or lower. Freight does not effect mpg except WV and then very little. Its the speed that hurts the mpg so it pays me to drive slower. I hate those you got 10 hours to drive 580 loads (just an...
