Fuel Mileage with FL-60

Oneuglynerd · Jul 8, 2010

Just bought a FL-60 with 6speed and cummins 5.9 engine. Can anyone tell me what they are getting for fuel mileage? I'm hauling between 32k-45k max mostly running Southeast region.

Tough call with all the varibles involved. Age of motors condition,driving habits,ect.
I do have experience with that motor and your weight.
Worse I ever got was 6.5 & best was 9.5 running Orlando
To Dallas

No clue on mpg but that seems like an awful lot of weight on a 5.9 engine. Good luck with it.

ya i hope your talking about gross

Yes gross but sometimes less. Basically I think it's too much as well. But I don't push it hard only 60mph and I run where it's flat. I do have my worries at times about the motor but it only has 150k on it so for now it has to work.

U can pull that much with the small cummins motor? Are you sure it's not the bigger 7 litre.
I must admit I don't know much about the cummins motor, execpt the people that run them swear by them. I thought the 5.9 was only used in the pick ups only.
