Go with the best of both worlds. fordcummins.com Brother has a 98 Cummins with 165k on it. Usually around 20 to 24mpg empty running 70 mph, will do better if you keep it under 60. Pulling a short haul (about 2 miles each way) moving hay home w/25 foot gooseneck at around 18k lbs, letting it idle with AC on while loading and unloading we got 16 mpg. Long hauls depend on what speed you want to drive, anywhere from 15 to 18 loaded. His 06 Cummins makes anywhere from 16mpg to 20mpg empty. Depends on how fast you want to get there. Don't have a real good idea of loaded yet, but made 14mpg going 70mph with a load of cattle (around 16k lbs).
