Yes, it's easy on the equipment I like it.

The K100 was Kenworths most aerodynamic truck until the T600 debuted in 1985.

I believe that was a Freightliner. I think Optimus prime was this truck once.

I get 8mpg on average now. Super single tires with slow and smooth driving are key. It has a tiny 3' wide bed right behind the seats. Maintenance is mostly oil changes @ 20K miles. This truck is made to be over hauled repeatedly, it could go as long as parts are available. Not disposable like the current models.

The engine and transmission haven't been overhauled yet. Still getting good oil sample analysis results

8mpg is pretty good for a semi truck. I have 240 gallons of fuel capacity. I didn't buy it new, I was 10 years old. I think it was about $50,000 new in 1993. New trucks are $150,000+ most people finance that amount. There's no getting a similar spec truck anymore.
