<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BoxCarKidd, post: 4645799, member: 151415&quot;]60 instead of 65 to save? I worked a company had older and newer ntc350,s ,9speed directs, .55 rears, and low pro 22.5,s. They were limited to 58 mph. A board was on the wall with all truck&nbsp; numbers and mileages updated each month. Old ones averaged about 5.7 and the new ones about 6.6.&nbsp; A new truck was ordered and a rental supplied in tell it came in which had an ntc400, 9over, ?, and LP 22.5,s. It had no limiters and always got 7 plus. I don&#039;t thank anyone was buying a little fuel to make the fuel bonus because non were paid.&nbsp; Possibly with your truck but I say no.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; To track actual mileage fill it up and record your mileage. At the next fill you record mileage and gallons purchased. Then divide the mileage driven by the gallons purchased and record your actual MPG. Run at least two tanks for all your mileage driving tests.&nbsp; Then you will know exactly what your truck gets. Allow for weather and altitude changes. For optimum fuel economy drive like you have an egg between your foot and the acc. pedal. Do not leave stops like a rocket. Gradually build up to the maximum speed you would drive on the road you are on just before the bottom of all hills, but pushing 4 wheeler,s costs extra fuel. Then baby foot the pedal, you want to maintain optimal power but if the engine gives it all a half throttle everything past that is just fuel out the exhaust. Engines that produce more HP on cruise kind of take away the incentive to drive for whats best for the truck. One truck I drove some would allow the foot pedal to override the cruise speed. Hit the hill faster, let off the pedal at cruise speed and usually it would make the hill without a shift. If near the crest of the hill and coming up on the WWE KNOCK DOWN auto shift I would just turn off the cruise and ease over the hill. The secret to making good time is keeping the left door closed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
