Got a link? I used to drive semi's. The standard for a NEW semi might be, but the standard for most of what is still on the road is closer to 5. Here you are again, WRONG! Excuse me? Not exactly sure who you are even addressing here, tmarsh83 or myself. From the link supplied by Cambygsp:

You were wrong on the MPG on big rigs. My brother in law has a lot of big trucks not rigs in his business and he gets about 8-10 MPG on those diesels.....so I'd say semi's are close to that.....maybe not, maybe so but I'm not acting like a know it all like you!

This is what vehicles we have at my house: '06 3500 dually diesel 15 MPG mixed driving '05 2500 suburban 12.5 MPG mixed driving '07 tahoe 19.5 MPG mixed driving Gas/diesel: it is what it is, you can't do anything about it. I spent the following this week: $102 $79 $72 $42 Granted I drive a lot for work over 2500 monthly and I also trailer a lot of times.... Add that up it is a lot, but it is what it is. I doesn't change what I do or what my wife does. I go to work and sell and she goes to school and teaches, and the clock ticks as the sun comes up everyday. Nothing you can do about. As JohnSmiles would say it is all political payoffs, I guess and if you know them your doing well as my Exxon stock is doing ;D ;D Wish I would have purchased more of it! I would not invest in exxon any more than I would invest in abortion clinics. Both are money making deals, but making money isn't all that matters. But, knowing you own stock in oil, it is no surprise rising prices are not a great concern of yours. You probably stand to make more on your stocks than you are spending on your gas. This same line of thinking was just being discussed on a dental thread . . .

Oh? You are talking big trucks, NOT big rigs(which was what WE were talking about, btw) and I have driven semi's for a living, and you are claiming I think I know it all? I say that semi's are probably getting closer to 5mpg, and I am a know it all? Got it. Seems you are making this rather personal, which is usually frowned on here. Also seems you are the one in the wrong. Or WRONG as you care to put it. Now, show me some facts or links, stating the average semi's on the road today are getting a certain mileage, and that it is NOT closer to 5 mpg than 8. Here is a clue: Semi's and your brother in laws 'big trucks' have nothing in common, especially mileage. They are two seperate worlds. I don't know it all chuckles, far from it. But, what I CLAIM to know is usually correct.

Okay JohnSmiles you were rubbing me the wrong way with your Peabody comments, and I just hate negative people who frown on the fortunate and make up lies when they don't know the whole truth. Sorry about praying on ignorance and getting upset that untrue statements make me go into an uncalled for rage. I won't comment on your posts any longer.
Sorry, Woody and the other administrators.

Thanks! There was no apology to me, and you are still calling me a liar even now. I have asked you twice to show where I have lied, and you have shown nothing so far. But, on a side note, I could not have asked for any more than you supplied on the Peabody thread.

Refer to your Peabody statements, where your accussing me of getting a payback, NOT TRUE. If it wasn't a payback, then I got a sweat heart of a deal because I couldn't afford 3/4 of a million dollar purchase, NOT TRUE. There are 2 lies that are personally attacking me so I lashed at you, I'm over it and I have apologized and you haven't. Your comments aren't true about Peabody and the paybacks and who you know and you don't know what I could afford or not afford. I can tell you that I paid over double the amount I posted on the thread that you believed, so it is approaching what you said I couldn't afford. Your personal attacks should be outlawed, just get along with people and don't dig into attacking me. Your somewhat new here and haven't been throught the OBR debates.....you need to keep your chin clean. I know I'm out of line, but I was attacked first. 2 wrongs don't equal a right, I know. I'm sorry for your ignorance and mine for falling into it with you.

BTW - I do own Exxon stock and have since I was 5 years old and I'm 29 now 22 minutes ago....it was grated to me from my grandpa and it has split 4 times in the past 24 years and has gone from $55 to $84 this year! Good stock, and some of it helped me buy the land you said I couldn't afford, it is good collateral with Farmer's Credit.

I am going to bed. You have a pleasant night now, and try not to bury yourself any deeper than you already have on the Peabody thread. G'night Mullis.

No link, personal experience, couple truckers in the family.
True over the road driving for most rigs is running for the most part from 7-10 MPG...but, if the truck idles much, that goes to hell pretty quick...
Stepdad's box trucks actually don't do as well over the road as the semi-rigs do. Neither of them toting alot of weight. Major differences there are because of gearing.
Milage is a funny creature, and alot of OTR truckers are hammer drivers, and weight can make ALL the difference. From the firsthand knowlege I have, and have seen, 7 or 8 to 10 can be done.

Mine was a joke, and you think that is true and that I would do something like that if I were in that type of position? Get real...I'm going to bed too. Woody, this guy and I need some self help but I will say this over and over, he started it! By saying I was taking kickbacks and I was a politician or that I was getting some sweatheart deal for some reason.............and it really set me off.
