    For me the Short answer is ......no.


    I just had overhead done and replaced cac hoses and clamps. Also checked bellows etc for leaks.....
    I do 107k on every load short haul (70 mph) and the best I get in the summer is 5.7 mpg.


    I've tried slowing down (for 3 weeks) and it didn't help... Kinda sucks !
    But that's life with an SDP/POS.....
