    Two part question for local, city, and OTR.

    1. What technique do you use, ie... floating, double clutch, progressive shifting...to get best mpg?

    2. What speed tranny do you use?

    I use a 10 speed Eaton Fuller. I float the low gears, and double clutch high gears. I shift progressive when fully loaded, otherwise shift how the truck feels went not fully loaded. Thanx for your input
