New To Trucking- simple question about fuel consumption

Hello all,

This is my first time posting, and I am a new member.

I am looking for more information about the trucking industry, as I have been speaking with friends who work in it.

I am a bit of a planner, and I am trying to learn as much as I can before really diving in. I've looked online in general about fuel consumption, but I get conflicting information. I'm from Texas originally, and so I want to know things like, on a trip between San Antonio and Denver, how much diesel would it take with a full load, vs an empty one; how long does that take? Do people usually go the full speed limit (85 miles/hour?) does this cost more fuel?

Thank you for any insights or shared experiences.

Stay safe,

RW
