I also have one. It will make 16.5 to 17 going down the interstate at 70-75 MPH.
On the 2 lane roads it will max out at about 14 driving 55. Mine has too shallow gears in it, it runs best and cheapest once it hits overdrive and is not lugging.
Pulling any trailer bigger than a pickup box size trailer will drop it below 10 MPG. It makes about 6 MPG with either my 4 big bale mover or 100 small bales behind it. It makes about 7.2 with a 4 horse trailer with living quarters being pulled.
I have a "Superchips" tuner that I will tune it with if going a long distance. Doesn't help the MPG more than about 1/2 or 1 MPG, but does help the shift points, maybe taking some of the load off the transmission. It firms them up. DOUG
