Yup, that's peak torque at 7,000 Rip'ems. I never bothered to check fuel economy when packing twin 100 gallon saddle tanks. Just stopped and filled them when the gauge said you're near "E"
All I know is we went a long way between fill ups.
Our trucks are so unique that they turn German tourists into Japanese shutterbugs.
