Is 10 MPG Possible with a Fully Loaded (80K gross) 5 Axle Truck?

Great answer V8...
i would not expect anything better from you...

 

should have multi quoted with prior post
sorry Dice, No offense or disrespect meant to you or your thread with prior post...

 

What could me more interesting than comparing trucks from around the world. I think everyone got one goal and thats to go as long as possible on as little fuel as possible.
If u don't understand some units convert it like everyone els does in the world. I'm quite tired to convert everything all the time, also this is my third language I'm writing in so it's not always that easy to find all the words.


And to answer the question, simple yes it is. Just a matter of how high average speed you need, how good you are on out roll. And the most important, the truck should never stand still.

 

how far would you like to go

do you consider to get longer diff ratio and use it in direct drive

how much money is in the game

 

The systems do work and quite well. They just don't work mounted on board like that. That setup is way to small to separate out enough hydrogen to fuel an engine on the fly.

You have to set up a fueling station that compresses the hydrogen into something like a large propane tank for a house. Then you refuel out of that tank same as a propane system.

 

I'm not one for the snake oils salesmen solutions.
I can however remember trying some PTFE oil additive about 15 years ago.
The selling point of the particular brand was that the particles were not the standard flat shape , usually found with PTFE.They also found a way to get neutral buoyancy in oil.

I used it for about a year and it did give a measurable 3% reduction in fuel usage.
Also never became aware of any negative side effects like blocked filters or build up in sump or galleries.

 

My MPG drops to the 7's range when fully loaded in a 2005 Volvo with Cummins...I get over 9 with less...
