WhatIzThis

Not sure if this has changed, but Colgate met the difference between tuition (and room and board) and my expected family contribution with all grants except for $2600 or so in loans. For me, that was over $30k/year in grants.

How much $$ do you think an average truck costs yearly to maintain/repair? I had always wondered this. Also, of course this varies greatly with load, but what kind of fuel economy numbers are today's semis seeing?

Thanks for the response! And yeah, 7 mpg does actually seem pretty remarkable all things considered.
