Back in the day we averaged 6 mpg with Binder cabovers and tall trailers. Not as much weight, though -- max was 72,000 -- and no where near the same power -- 300hp.

Hay Dan I would like to know your opinion on the new Electric Semi's from Tesla. The company is still a year out on mass production. They are talking about 500 mile batteries. Or 500 miles per charge. Would love to hear a real driver's experience. Thanks. If you could talk about it I watch all your videos. Tell Bayly we said hi. Keep drawing that Dorsey trailer.

[@kens.3729]

Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF). Warren Buffet Owns BNSF. Burlington Northern bought the Old Sante Fe Railroad about 25 years ago merging Burlington Northern and Sante Fe into a Single Railroad and its the 2nd Largest Railroad in North America. Union Pacific is # 1 and Norfolk Southern and CSX are # 3 and # 4.

[@jerrycann6374]

I would tie up the wire for the 02, the loop is kinda close to the exhaust. Looks like Bailey loves the room in your Cadillac

[@fordilac]

While 5mpg sucks, it is just 1line from gross to net. Payments, insurance, depreciation, cost of repairs (down time makes it a double-edged sword), truck stop food (cost & lost time), not wanting a motel room for your reset, and the 1 intangible of your comfort for the 1/2 of your day not behind the wheel are just a few that come to mind.

[@dannygregg3906]

Thanks for the video. I love the Southwest. Anytime I'm out there in AZ NM TX I love to take a walk in the evening and in the morning when the sun is coming up. I Love the smells.

[@brianbridle951]

Gearing is so different to Europe. We have a 56mph max speed (governed). A Volvo 560hp D13 engine would pull aorun 1100rpm at 56 with 2045lbs ft torque. 10-13mpg.

[@CoherentChimp]

UK (imperial) gallon is about 20% bigger than the US gallon, so mpg will be very different.

[@daneblackburn613]

Their torque is different too. And their trucks look Gayer then AIDS. Lol

[@wilE6764]

Dam..truck i drive was goverened at 68..i had the mechanic up to to 74 lol

[@acd1202]

The 5 usmpg that Dan talks about is 6.07 imperial mpg, or in other words imminenet bankruptcy in the UK. The 10 which a European truck will get running heavy is about 8.27 usmpg. I believe that US aerodynamic trucks with European based engines, Volvo with a Volvo engine or a Cascadia with a DD13, PACCAR product with MX13 or maybe an International with the A26 will get similar figures to what we get. However the US version of these engines always have lower maximum outputs both power and torque the the Euro versions and usually rev higher. Things aren't really comparable because the US in most cases have much higher running speeds than our EU imposed pedestrian speeds and double drive (this seems like driving to down the road throwing money out of the window to a European, but whatever does it for you), whilst in the UK we run much heavier and go upto 3 feet higher so much more drag. Horses for courses.

[@johnsobaszko1700]

Freightliner Cascadias in the States with a DD15 get around 8.5mpg. That would be an extra 20K+ in the driver's wallet, based on 100K miles a year.

[@halwilliams1682]

Constant stream of BNSF coal trains through the Nebraska Sandhills everyday. Coal coming from Wyoming going to coal fired power plants who knows where. As much as possible we get used to the whistles. Some engineers are courteous and don't lay on the horn all the way through town. Others are just like the truckers pulling bull racks. They have straight pipes and think they have to use the Jake's as they downshift at the intersection. I think their goal is to rattle every window in town. I've driven trucks for over 30 years and know that is not necessary.

[@checker3694]

Trucks will drink fuel like Dan's does if you cruise at 65mph like he does, and some states they can run 70mph plus if he ran it at 55mph he would probably get 8mpg plus , the difference would be payments on a new truck what you save running slower, you don't gain anything in the long run going 10 mph faster, only higher fuel costs and added fatigue.
