Well, it depends!
I was getting 6.7 all time average(962,000) with my 550 3406E CAT, 13 Eaton, 3.36 rears, 24.5 lp tires, in 1996 Volvo(old stile, like WGMC). 53' dry box
I'm getting, 6.85 all time average(235,000) with my 475 Cat Acert, 13 Eaton, 3.55 rears, 24.5lp tires, in my 2005 KW T600. 53' dry box.
I wish, i'd specsed it with 3.36 rears, and 22.5lp, would gain probably another 0.2-.3 mpg! :roll:
As of to "aero" or "long", the faster you'll run, the more is difference.
Identicaly specs 379, and T600, (dry box), at 75mph, i'd guess 0.8-1.0 mpg difference.
Btw, it's a whole new learning with Acert, it's very unforgiven!
