Why are you driving so FAST with fuel costs so high?!

I don’t refuse to save money because it will be taxed, but I’m not tripping over dollars to pick up dimes either, if I can put money elsewhere great, if not then that doesn’t bother me either

 

Your core question is itself, in question. You refuse to hold standards between situations. I’m now going to inject ONE variable since you’ve agreed you will not hold any variables constant or standard: time.

Truck 1: drives 75k miles per year and is at home 2.5 months out of the year.
Truck 2: drives 90k miles per year and is home 1.5 months out of the year.

Was that 4K worth a month no matter how you saved it?

 

Since you cant be bothered to understand I was rejecting the idea of setting money on fire versus letting the irs tax some of it, I bid you good day.

 

Whose on first?

 

No, what

 

Ain't that the F'n truth.

 

All the governed trucks are about fuel economy not safety, the companies that push the speed governor speil are the ones that cut corners on maintenance and have the most crashes.

 

25 years and I have had one speeding ticket in a truck, governing every ones truck so we are all clumped together is not going to make anything safer, the day they do that is the day I get my second computer programmed with something other then just my have fun file on it and make sure whatever file I put on there is not governed. I am usually below the posted or right around the posted for 99% of my day any way, but I am not sitting in a giant clump with a bunch of flip flop wearing idiots and end up in a wreck on the side of the road

 

Back when the speed limit was a mandated 55 mph, we had no choice but to speed, just to stay awake! I ran 62 back then, without worrying about getting a ticket. Now I run 65 mostly. Often hitting 70-72. Lately I’ve been running 62 @ 1375 RPM. Fuel mileage went up quite a bit, almost 1 mp, where it used to be back then, about 6.5 instead of 5.5. Going to keep it up, when I have time. Try to stay out of the way. Seems everyone’s running slower anyway. Saves me roughly . 12 cpm. @$4.20 per gallon. Peanuts, till you add it up per year. $10-$12k. That’s enough to cover my maintenance on Truck and Trailer.
