Thanks for your report on your first trip. 6.2 up from your average 5.5 is an increase of 12.7 percent. At a cost of $3.89 a gallon of diesel that is a .49 cent per gallon savings. I have to agree with you, that is Easy Sailing to your bank account.

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving . I made it home and have enjoyed spending time with the family. Have been pretty busy till the break my overal avg. since installing my Eco4 is 7.7 that is up from a avg 6.8 this avg is since I bought the truck 3yrs ago and have put on over 375 thou miles. I also would like to add that I have not changed my drivng style or speed, I drive the same as I have since I got this truck 3yrs.ago. My truck is a 2005 Volvo with a 400 hp Cummins ISX with 10 speed. I wish, I had installed my Eco4 when I got this truck could have payed for another truck just off the savings in 3 yrs . I will diffentally be installing them on every truck I own in the future! THANKS BEN
BigBadBill Thanks this. -
sorry i havn"t posted lately been busy , Have still been at 7.7 overal
some days with a few light loads in the last wk was in the 9s love that but I look at the big picture heavy light flat and grades and overall im right at 7.7 so far im very happy still going to try a few other things As a o/op I will always continue to try and get the best bang for my buck !ECOTAZ and BigBadBill Thank this. -
I haven't posted lately either. I'm having some engine issues, so it wouldn't be fair to post my mileage here lately. As soon as I get things sorted out, I will post again...
BigBadBill and ECOTAZ Thank this. -
papa1953, losttrucker and BigBadBill Thank this.

OK, couple trips that I can compare before and after PLUS the difference from running my average 60-62 MPH and 67+ MPH.
Last spring did a load to AZ, 1800 miles without unit, 78K gross, 6.2 MPG. Couple weeks ago to AZ, 75K gross, 6.9 MPG.
Now got stuck in ice storm on way back so had to push it up to on the speed. 78K gross, 1825 miles, 5.8 mpg. In past when I ran fast I would see high 4's to low 5's. -
I am up to 7.1mpg on my run, but I also have added a modified Bully Dog tune now so it helps a bit too. But the ecotaz really does work in my opinion.
ECOTAZ Thanks this. -
I'm still running 2500-3000 miles per week, I am just having some other issues with my engine. As I said, it wouldn't be a fair result to post my present mileage. And where did I say I wasn't moving???ECOTAZ Thanks this. -
Thanks Again.
