They"re pretty economical compared to say trucks from the late 70"s early 80"s..check the mileage sometime on a 84 chevy with a 454 and 4.11"s..6 on a good day? maybe... you just let somebody else take that initial hit for $40,000,then pick it up 2 years later for $18,000,doesn"t hurt so bad.. I recently pull a Mack out of the mud,buried to the axles,weighed 37,500..he couldn"t believe my lil wimpy 1-ton could do it..he had already called for a tow,then got to call back and cancel it.. My brother in law had a freightliner fl80 with the 8.3 cummins,best it ever got was 7mpg..that 15 number sounds a little optimistic..
