She was not built to do some silly MPG for users that bought surplus............
She was meant to do a job for military defense
And a fine job done.
Military has the fuel to do the job, maybe others do not.
Did You ever look at how much fuel our military uses and
what the cost is just to get it where is is to be used?

Really!!!!!! 4.5MPG? This can't be true. Can a cross this info on a google search.
Most big motors do not get any better than 6 generally. A truck with an automatic isn't going to be easy on fuel. Keeping boost below 10psi nets the best mileage.

My 920 empty at 34,000lb gets 5.5 at 62mph at 2350rpms. Around 5mpg with an empty trailer grossing 55k. Last trip from CA to Memphis at 97,000lbs it was around 4mpg. That includes 22/24hrs of idle time.
