I can't confirm for sure that is all it got since I was a proby and didn't drive and (thankfully) I was transferred 2 shifts before my probation was over. I just heard the guys saying that was all it was able to do. It has been almost 14 years but the last rig I drove was a 470 horse series 60 and it didn't do all that well either but much better than the gas pot. Seems like it was a bit over 3 MPG but they do get run hard and most guys have no clue how to drive for any kind of mileage. I used to get razzed about driving slow but I didn't. It just felt that way because I didn't suddenly mash the throttle to floor and then do the same with the brake.
