    Do you think the trailer tail helped a bit to reach that number or not really?

    I haul heavy all the time almost max weight skirts add about 2% tail is about 3-4% together is in the 5 to 7 % fuel savings according to the guage...my 2 cents also I notice newer trailers with super singles are better than tailers with 8 tires...my 2 cents worth...oh according to maintance the auto 680 get way better mileage..mine 2014 ave 7.8mpg all new Millis trucks 2015 autos 8.9 mpg ...again very heavy loads.. and only about 30 percent of our trailers have skirts and less have tails...

    Be Safe Out There

    Also, the Millis manuals are 10 speed. TennMan's truck is a 13 speed. That would close the gap. in MPG.
