460 12speed auto. 315/70/22,5
12,500rpm. Speedo says 90k. Satellite says 87 to 88.
Varied work so weekly mpg between 7 and 11…!
Overall 9ish. That’s 0.75 better than the ten year old 480 manual it replaces.

thanks for your reply gbtransp. You are getting 9.7 miles per gallon, your friend is getting 10.8 mpg so he is using 0.7 of a gallon less to cover the same distance.

Whoops. Yep. You’re right it is a truck, not a strimmer.

I rememeber when I was a boy used to motorbikes and seeing truck rev counters in 10s of rpms rather than single figures assumed they revved to 25000rpm :grimacing:
