Damn html filter!

Fully loaded freight trains actual mpg depends on how much they’re carrying.

re: #66 Aceofwhat?

Newer trucks (400-500hp) get 7-8mpg. Older trucks…less.

At 40 ton cargo capacity a fully loaded 18 wheeler averages 320 miles per gallon per ton ideal, maybe half that in heavy traffic.
