Week 1: Dont change a thing, drive the speed you normally drive (65) and figure out your fuel milage every fuel stop.
Week two: switch the truck into manual and drive the speed you did during week one. (65) figure out your MPG each time you fuel.
Week three: Keep the truck in Manual and Reduce the speed you normally drive by 3 miles per hour (62) Figure out your MPG each time you fuel.
Week four: Keep the truck in Manual and reduce your speed by 2 miles per hour. (60) Figure out your MPG each time you fuel.
Week 5: Keep the truck in manual and reduce your speed 2-3 miles per hour (57-fifty eight) Figure out your MPG each time you fuel
Week 6: Keeping in mind the weather, terrain, and weights of the loads you hauled over the past few weeks, go back over the records of your MPG when you fueled.
It should be fairly easy to see that there is an improvement each week, especially when you compare stats from week one to those of week six.
If you honestly followed what was suggested each week, compare MPG for week six, to week one. Figure out what your quarterly fuel bonus is for MPG at week six and for week one. Figure out what the current fuel bonus is for the average MPG for week one and week six, .01, .02, .03 perhaps? Figure out which fuel bonus check deposit would be larger in your bank account week one or week six.
There you have it, a bit more in depth than what i normally verbalize but now its in black and white and your hubby can see
1. The difference in MPG by driving in automatic and manual
2. What slowing down just a few miles an hour can do for his MPG
And of course, he didn't even have to drive 55 to do it -
