Finally took the new truck on a road trip to Southern Illinois.
Down highway 57, one of the most boring drives in the world, I was in no mood to try and conserve fuel.....so I was on the throttle.
I kept it pretty much between 85 - 90 the whole trip.
I checked it when I got home and averaged 12.3 mpg.
My '06 Deisel would get 17 - 18 at the same pace.
Another thing I'm not used to is the delay, and the downshifting when going to pass a car.
The Cummins had the torque to allow me to just give it some throttle and the truck would go NOW!
Don't get me wrong, I love this new truck, it has way more positives than negatives.
Next up is to put the plow on, I'm going to have to adjust the way I plow snow also.
Updates to come!!
