BTW nice to see a fellow Arkansan. Where in central AR you at? I have a father in law in Little Rock (actually 2 of them, long story.)
I'm in the Little Rock area.
While I think the truck was pretty darned economical, as trucks go, I also tend not to keep the hammer slammed like some guys. I've been getting nearly 6 in the Mack, while the previous driver did about 5.3
Not to brag, but over time, that adds up to quite a bit. Still can't come close to what the Pete did, though.
