    Take the the exhaust stacks off. By that logic you should gain another 5.0 mpg. Not saying you are, stretching the truth, but i for one find this 1.5 gain very hard to believe. If you don't have vertical stacks, make the rear view mirrors smaller, but still dot legal and gain 3 mpg. But hey, its your story.

    I put a big MAGA bumper sticker on the back of my trailer. It didn't change my mileage, but getting flipped off by mostly Prius drivers as they try to pass me is priceless entertainment.

    I put a anti-NRA sticker on my tractor next to my #metoo sticker. Everyone thinks I’m gay now.

    I put 3 stickers on my trailer.
    VFW on top
    BLM in the middle
    NRA on the bottom

    Then on the side of the truck a sign that says. NO THEY ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE!!
    It's fun watching drivers decide if they should wave or flip me the bird.

    I saw a dude who was pulling a trailer with <----SHOW BOOBS with the arrow pointing to the driver side of the trailer written with a finger in the dirt on the back door.

    Then a few hours later I saw another one. What is it about these whackjobs up in New England?

    Hey I resent that NE comment. I am 99% sure that you might have been in new England. But that wasn't a new England truck or driver. How can I be so sure? Because if it was it wouldn't say show me your boobs. It would say "please kindly display your mammory glands" lol
