    That's great unless your business is like mine, time=money. Driving 10mph below the speed limit might save fuel (or $400 per week as you say) but what if it keeps the truck from doing more loads that week. So while I might have saved $400 in fuel, I lost $1k+ in revenue.:biggrin_25513:

    The C15 is one of few engines that will actually get better Mileage at 550 hp versus 475. Many O/Ops can attest to this.
