My rig has Freightliner's ParkSmart system...basically a battery operated HVAC unit. It's imperfect but does cut idle time and with the added bonus of warming the coolant when the heater is in use.
Fully loaded, I'm lucky to see 8mpg. Toss in any topography and 4-5mpg for some segments will be a given. Empty it's around 9.5-10mpg. Bobtailing, 12-14mpg. On my current load I got 9.2 with a light 12k load in the back over nearly 700 miles.
