What is the miles per gallon for a tractor trailer?

Just want to know the average miles per gallon a tractor trailer
would get. If it was loaded with about 10,000 pounds.

I do alot of "light" loads from New Jersey to Toronto. The average weight of my load is about 8000 lbs plus the weight of the tractor about 15000 lbs plus the weight of the trailer is about 15000 lbs.

I have a 2000 Volvo with a 425 hp volvo engine and a 13 speed tranny with no overdrive gear, I've got a bit of a heavy foot but I can average 7.2 mpg. Other things that can vary that besides my heavy foot are; wind, rain and cold. All of which can bring the average down.

How much extra money should be in my living budget?

Hi, I want to move, but I don't make a lot of money. I make 2200 bucks a month.

I was approved for a $650 a month mortgage which allows me to afford a small home in my area.

Other bills I'm thinking are the following
Utilities: 200
Cable/internet/phone: 150
Food 2 people: 500
Drs/Medicine: 100
Car Gas: 200
Car Insurance: 100

Total bills 1900
Total income 2200

That gives me just 300 breathing room and I haven't counted anything for fun or savings or emergencies.

I have a $3000 unused credit card and $15000 in the bank.

Would you move into this situation? How tight is too tight? I don't want to touch my savings because once its gone its gone, and I don't want to use my credit card except to pay it off each month.

Please help. I want to move, but I'm scared that I don't have a lot of free cash.
I have 6 months expenses in the banks and the property taxes are already figured in the mtg payment.

Sounds tight to me too. Your house payment should be no more the 1/4 of your take home pay each month.
