Hey guys,
I dont post much here but I do alot of reading and lurking. Anyways heres the questions I have and need some input. I am looking at two trucks that are identical. They were owned by the same company and are speced exactly the same.
I have some pretty narrow criterie I need for my next rig, and there are only 3 in the whole country on truck paper that meet it. The problem is, one truck is in MT and the other in AZ. The MT truck is averaging 6.48 mpg per the CAT dash computer. The AZ truck is only getting 5.60 mpg per its CAT dash computer.
Now do you guys think this large difference is because of driving style?
The trucks are flat top t800s that weigh under 16k. They have CAT c13 430hp, 10spds and 3.36 rears. So for that set up in a t800, 5.6 seems very low.
So, in summary, do you guys think a conservative driver (I never go above 65) could get the mileage on the AZ truck into the mid 6s like its identical brother truck is getting?
Thanks!
