Q-1 IFTA shocker!

Ouch, That would for sure account for that amount.

 

If you’re not tracking tank to tank it’s hard to say. The tanks where I had to idle all night were obvious, as well as days of terrible wind, and many tanks that were completely normal for the terrain and payload. I’m sure if I looked at the quarter as a whole things would appear off and I wouldn’t know where to start looking.

 

Y’all don’t tell your IFTA to your advantage???

 

@Concorde. Above is the most important post.

Who cares what your telematics or bs quarterly reports can tell you, track your mileage every single fillup, use google sheets, gallons, mileage, 1 more cell for calculation and 1 cell for a note on high idle, problems with tires, etc, youll be able to see how weather cold idle, good fueling stations and bad affect your mpg

 

Colder denser air and winter blended fuel, I usually lose at least 1mpg during the first quarter.

As far as running the overhead on a Cummins, I would do it a minimum of every 250K miles, I personally get it done once a year.

 

Colder denser air should help performance as that is the purpose of after cooling. Not enough to offset all the other factors though.

 

The winds coming from the northwest have been killer down here this season. I burn 10% more calories walking 200 ft from my house to the shop in that wind. Big truck does the same. Lol.
