8 mpg by driving 55

Thanks for mentioning this, I have been looking for a fuel cleaner that does not contain solvent and the Lucas product contains NO solvent. Look like Lucas also has a DPF cleaner product as well, I will by trying them out.

 

I love that DPF cleaner. That gives my truck a power boost like you wouldn't believe. I drive a Maxxforce, and believe it or not, it actually makes it a better truck! You will see a noticeable difference. If you're up north, you buy the DPF cleaner for a little cheaper. I caught it on sale at Meijer for $39.99

 

Or maybe some of those guys get laid well, but they want to increase overall profit and have less wear. Those tire replacements can get costly.....

 

Everybody's operation is different. If you live in your truck, it doesn't much matter where you park it at the end of the day...here is just as good as 30 or 60 miles up the road. When you're in a day cab, the price of a motel far exceeds the savings you might see by slowing down. Not to mention, slowing down TOO much places you at greater risk of being involved in a crash, as the speed differential between other traffic and you grows larger...so there's those costs (down time, injuries, "recordable" crash on your record if a vehicle is towed from the scene or anyone is injured, etc...) to figure in as well.

 

If i run the Midwest and pull 40 or less running 63 i avg 8.2 in my series 60 1999 Detroit . I also have a tri pak so that helps. Before the tri pak i was avg 6.5 6.8 . The difference was idle time . I run 10sp with 3.42 ratio in a 2016 Coronado Glider. That weights 23500 empty with a Utility Reefer / Thermo king. Anthing over 40 in the box i get 7.5. All those numbers will drop in cold weather wind and winter blend fuels. But i saved during the summer to compensate for winter.

 

Forgot to mention my mpg goes up more when i stay on cruise. Im 470 on pedal 500 on cruise

 

All depends on torque range.Most Trucks are specd to run that in middle of max torque range

 

I would suggest anyone using an on board computer readout for mpg info check against calculater. Mine would always show better than actual. The higher the computer read the bigger the difference. 7.5 = 7.2 actual. 9.9 = 8.3. actual.Computer lied like a drunken sailor

 

Yea i get that but in order to be accurate you have to calculate fuel left over in your tanks.What you buy what you burn are different. How many time have you bought more than you need probably alot because your going out in the woods with no stops. So if you bought more than you burn your calculator method is off. Or am i missing something. Thanks
