201 miles/ 10.7 gallons to refuel since last= 18.7 miles per gallon.

hell...not bad but i know it gets about 2-3 better w/ PURE highway.
the 18.7 was mixed driving so i can't complain.

i do have a couple tricks to increase by 2-3 maybe 3-4 if lucky...
1. I'm looking for a good shell that flows w/ the cab to reduce drag.
2. Good tune-up & regular maint.
3. Might consider a low, low boost turbo eg. 1-2 lbs max.
4. Driving habits...eg.hypermiling...lol...j/k

edit: OUR rigs are virtually the same setup!
