Wow! That's great mpg's. I'm going to be making a similar length trip out to Las Vegas and back in November. Would be nice to see mpg's close to yours

Have been getting closer to 36 mpg when I don’t go over 55 mph speed limit. Use econo setting and higher gas non ethanol if available

Nah I was on a return run from Marble. I had two loads dropped one south of Knoxville, then a second over to Marble. I I saw what I thought was a nice short cut back north, it just looked a little twisty lol!

After I realized what it was I got that Freightliner a rocking and made pretty good time even.
