Also notice unloaded economy is the same. | I totally agree with that, my buddy and i took two loads of hay to NW Illinois about 3.5hr straight drive. He had a LB7 and i had a 2000 Dodge. We both had the same trailer 20+5 flatbed gooseneck with 17,000lbs. of just hay weight.(a little overloaded) my cummins ran 11.3 and his ran 8.7 my 06 avg. tank last week (hauled a lot of hay that week) was 9 for the whole tank. that's terrible.But she'll get up and run with hay on it.
