A good day at theCarnesville Ga. Petro

I stoped at the Petro at Carnesville Ga. to get a truck wash,well I told the workers to wash the motor off as well.Thats all it took here came a driver is that the new Detroit. Yes come on over for a look well here came another driver how is the M.P.G.I told them  around 7.2 to 7.4 so i said wait a second,I got my fuel tickets from last week. 2202 miles drove used 285 gal. that tallies out to 7.7 and thats great they didnt dream of anything like that. I told them you have to drive a CASCADIA to see how quite the DD15 really is and the power it has. I belive they are in the market for a CASCADIA
