Just finished about a 700 mile trip from JAX, FL to Athens, GA and back over the last week. We left Wednesday and got back yesterday. I always do the tug test (foot off brake, slight roll, & squeeze controller) before driving. We averaged about 8 mpg doing 55-65mph and stopped every 2 hours there and back to refuel as that would use about half the tank. Even tested locking out 8 when in boost going uphill, but sometimes the truck would still use boost in 5/6/7 pulling a 6500lb TT uphill in the foothills of GA. I only experienced a loss of the brake controller one time and it was as we were pulling out of our camp site and heading to the dump station. Fortunately, the dumping process was long enough for the truck to reset and we had brakes as we were pulling out of the dump station after restarting the truck again.
