[COLOR=orange]"I'm so sorry officer...I AM the engine Retard...er!" All this sage advice sounds pretty 'jake' to me!

Haha, true conning tower, indeed. I feel like a U-bootman,living in this tiny space. I have to move my TV tray/laptop desk every time I want to go forward. It's really cool, I'm digging it. Funny thing, I was thinking about the last few jobs I've had.... Two years ago I was a SUB (substitute teacher) and now I'm a TANKER. Let's just hope "destroyer" isn't next

What's the gas mileage on a 40t US truck? Ours got about 3,3km/l (~7,8 mpg).
7,000 RPMs? My truck does 1700 max.
