If R-R or aero were reduced to yield the same average "load" as assisted by gravity,one might presume that in level driving,the truck could return that kind of mpg at that velocity.
Since Alohaspirit is going for 40-mpg in a mid-size truck,I thought the data might be insightful.
Yes that could be mathed out but I'm not going to try it!
