May trucking
May reduces / turns down company trucks to 62 mph.

the speed i can deal with, and yes i have seen a slight improvement.

i just wish they would do something about the way the trucks climb these hills / mountains
a sensor or something that would increase power as were climbing.

you must have a really crappy truck mine goes 65-66 as far as light loads i generally pull between 40-45 ive found that when i pull heavy loads i actually get better mileage cause i go slower the sweet spot on my truck is about 60-62 mph and i will consistently get 6.5-6.8 i even hit 7.2 one week you just have to find the sweet spot on your truck good luck.
