MPG: Owner ops/ fuel bonus

E=mc2 is hard to beat, in fact it cannot! Its obvious the faster you go the more fuel is required... but there is other laws of physics that do help low MPG when you use them.

• Use the sweet spot to power your rig (1,200-1,600 rpm) This is the general location in rpm range where you find HP, and Torque curve meet.
• Rolling resistance
  [*=2]Aerodynamics: (no one paid attention till after fuel prices skyrocketed) FYI: the most fuel efficent truck was late 1980's cab over KW until early 90's. The fairing between cab and trailer made that brick into IDK a fuel efficient brick LOL? Now all trucks have them, and made some upgrades to trailer dynamics w/ skirt, tail, under flow. <--- don't laugh I've seen numbers 1.5 mpg in high wind w/ skirt. (Not seen tail, or under carriage result)
  [*=2]Alignment: If any scrub of tires you will see it in wear pattern. A slight misalignment can cost owner/op 6 month worth of useful tire life on drives. And at a $0.001+ /mile loss in MPG. Nearly the same for trailer tires, however the MPG loss is multiplied by 1% (don't ask me why, I guess it trailer trying to offset drives?) Multiply that x8 for spread axle trailers. (wish I had chart for degree of alignment out of place vs wear and MPG) but is exponential as it increases
  [*=2]fluids/internal friction: The claims are amazing... get this super duper oil and get %5 better MPG... I don't buy their claims, but you should be replacing/checking/and maintaining fluid levels at all times w/ quality products.

Kinetic energy: experienced drivers had full 1mpg gain over 2-9yrs exp . (I don't believe that number to be accurate, however its clear result of un-powerd gain)

• Time traffic lights... If you see red light ahead, drop out of gear early, and try to arrive at last car under full throttle as they accelerate under green.
• Fixed stop signs, free wheel into them as far away as possible.. let your load do the work, aka momentum.
• Traffic backups forget about keeping your space, and braking. Keep gear that allows you to idle through, your dealing w/ gal per hour vs miles.
• Avoid anything that slows or stops you, the biggest waste of fuel is getting your rig moving.
• Always use cruise control @ hwy speed.

I'm sure I've missed plenty, so pls add.
enjoy your ride everyone!

 

OMG in some way that made sense using my wifes idea of shoping... I'm confused now
