At 5 miles per gallon (typical for an older truck. Modern - especially aero - can get 6.5 or even 7 mpg) that's just over 1,000 miles per week. For typical loads, any driver only getting 1,000 miles a week is going to go broke quick. 2,500 mile per week is about average, so that 11,000 gallons is probably not more than 6 months worth. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
