My big truck, you don't want to know the MPG....
 
Which one. We have a fleet of one tons. Due to the nature of the work they are bed mounted equipment. They idle a ton, because we don't turn them off once they leave for the day. They average about 6 mpg.

14 to 18 on the highway with about 1/2 tank of water (325 gallon tank), 16 to 20 with 60 gallons water depending on wind direction
4)What it is the weight of your trailer
have a scale ticket with 60 gallons of water in the tank at 4850 pounds, it is a 325 gallon tank but I try not to haul water but usually have 1/2 tank of water most of the time after bending 3 axles with the old trailer hauling a full tank of water to some jobs, I try to not haul full tanks of water anymore, gets expensive changing axles, brakes and tires when you bend an axle.

I have had 3 different contractors with me in the truck and showed them the mileage with and without the trailer working and going to round tables/events/meetings/estimates in the truck and they could not believe ho good of mileage I get all the time, I really love this truck, wish I could buy another identical to it.
