I had to use our extra 5 gallons we carry when I needed to stretch our fuel range in Texas.

When your coming from the west coast it’s nothing but pulling until the mid states, and no way to get 10 to 13 mpg doing so on an average. In 2500 miles I averaged 9.7 mpg, west coast mpg was between 5 and 8 mpg with a combined weight of 27,000 lbs and side and head winds. Once we got to the mid states and no winds it jump to 10 to 11 keeping the speed at 65. When we travel we do 400 to 500 in a day, most of the time it’s for work so we need to make miles per day.
