First tractor I drove for this company had such impressive fuel mileage I wanted to see if I could make it over 2,000-miles on a fill. A wind came up that stopped me going farther with the low fuel light already on, but it was 1,981 miles nonetheless. And I put in more fuel than it (theoretically) holds.

FWIW, skyking I almost always refuel at 1,400-miles. It isn’t consciously planned. I may be averaging under 8-mpg, or I may be at nearly 10. It just works into my days that way. The number of miles does not reflect an even distribution of daily miles, or miles per assigned trip.

With 220-gals aboard and 180 as useful, my range is EASILY from 1500 to 1800-miles. BUT 1400 is where a silent alarm goes off. And I don’t have to set a trip odometer for that to happen.

Most folks don’t believe me when I say that one works for the vehicle and not the other way around. But I’d bet EVERYONE has a similar form of vehicle compliance they’re obeying.
