My long time friend picked up a single axle Freight Liner with the DD-15 de-tuned too 515 hp.
It rocks all day and night pulling 32.000 lbs at 15 too 17 mpg, loads in the 40 to 55.000 lbs on the tri-axle pull the hwy mileage to 8.7 too 9.2 mpg on the same hwys in Alberta and BC... Going East it jumps up to 11 too 13 ish less the long pulls on the hills.
Just closing in on the 2 million km mark, she's a Sweeeeet ride with the cush cush hwy long-haul package.
Lots of bling and 515 hp makes it a dream too drive.

Filled in running the old school Pete 550 hp cat power plant as it pulls 48.000 kgs at close to 7 to 9.2 mpg ish so long as one runs the hills and tap-out on foot feed long before intersections.
Wize foot can pull off awesome mileage of load weights in and above this.
100.000 kg loads suck fuel, but that's another story for another day.
Been doing the half time 56.000 kg loads this winter with a 600 ++ hp FL thats maxing out in the 3.7 too 4.2 mpg,,, heavy foot brings it down to 2.2 too 2.7 mpg.
Drive wize saves on funds.
