Upfront, I'm completely aware that driving habits, truck differences, weight, and setup is completely different between everyone, but I'm curious about fuel mileage pulling either a TT or 5th wheel with a diesel 3/4 ton truck.
My 1st pull was local, only 15 miles from home and I traveled through the city for most of it. Didn't get a chance to check fuel mileage on such a short pull. In a few weeks from now, I'm going to pull from Lafayette, La to Dallas, Tx. Mapquest is showing 390 miles and the majority of it will be interstate travel.
I plan on keeping the speed between 65-68mph. What do you guys usually see in fuel mileage pulling? I'm curious about all diesel pickups, but really interested in guys pulling with a Chevrolet 3/4 ton Duramax diesel.
I'm able to get 18.5 mpg @ 75 mph. Hand calculated and not going by the onboard computer.
Thanks for any input,
