Some of the "really big" vehicles do pretty well. My '04 Silverado 2500
Duramax diesel (6500 lbs) gets 21 mpg highway at 75mph and 14.5 mpg
towing a 10,000 lb 5th wheel at 65 mph.


Damn. My '01 F250 PowerStroke (6500+ lbs) would make a whopping 18 if I
kept it at 65 all day.
My pard's '96 Dodge Cummins (now with over 300k and a 3.55 rear end)
gets 23at that speed - damn it.
