Update

Hello to all,

I wanted to give everyone an update as to how the Cascadia is performing. From year to date, my fuel mileage is 6.9. Over the last thirty tank fulls, the average has been 7.4. In the beginning of this program, it was difficult to get high fuel mileage due to shipments which took me through mountainous terrain. I am better able to average higher fuel mileage with my current runs being less extreme. I am pleased to say that I have made the 8mpg mark several times. I just had my fifty thousand mile oil change. The DD15 only consumed about a quart and a half of oil during this interval.

Henry
