    Sped red, off to bed, filled my head . . .

    I'm starting a fundraiser for DY, to fix his truck faster . ..

    Because he's a dangerous dude with time on his hands . . .

    Now now DY is just reading and thinking we all could do more of this...this is a game of pennies that turn to dollars..I had an hour #### chat toaday with a fellow classmate we were talking about usining your clock the right way...live load vs drop and hook as were both going to SNI IC and that pucking loads can make DY quest for MPG mute....now I am with DY in spirit....I just hauled 31k pounds from Wi to Al in a 2014 T680 ave was 9.3mpg trailer had skirts and tails I was floored at 66mph...I was drop and hook on both ends....winner winner chicken dinner. I wonder as time and better design trucks ie more areo will really push it to a point the older rigs cant well keep up. Then there will be a study of old vs new etc...DY is on the right path...but does he have the right "rig"?

    Be safe out there

    Captain Dave

    PS. Im not bashing DY in any way..he has it foing on...

    Lol. OK after reading "math class". What if the road had lots of curves? Would heavier rims: steel rims vs aluminum; cause a decrease in mpg due to a larger gyroscope effect from heavier rims?

    Yes. Every action has an equal opposite reaction.

    No, he's talking about gravity. Every object in the universe exerts some pull on every other object. And yes, that would be the Newt.
