The last 2000 miles I have montored it very closely. Almost right at 27 mpg. Everything from having the rear diff locked on logging/unpaved roads in rural PA and Ohio to curising at 80, getting caught in traffic jams, hauling heavy loads of lumber and landscaping materials, etc.
I am probably mostly commuting to work which is lightly travelled two and 4 lane highway where I am running 45-55. But I use the truck for everything.
FWIW the Finance guy who did my paperwork had a 4wd Ranger, and he averaged about 24-24.5, so the 10 speed probably does have something to do with it. Motor is never strained.
I like both Boeing and Airbus, but yeah. a lot of Boeings pains are self inflicted. Sadly.
What did they cross it with, a Duck billed platypus?
I love the Super Guppy and the Guppies, built from B377's and their military counterpart. Modern version of that...
