    7 mpg with ECO minus 6.3 mpg before ECO is a .7 mpg increase. That is still an 11% increase in fuel economy. At $3.79 a gallon of diesel that is .41 cents per gallon savings or 6 cents per mile savings.
    Thanks for the info.

    Totals for the last three weeks combined. 8293 miles, 870 miles empty, average gross weight of 79,720#. Have had a lot of wind on my routes as well as a lot of rain on one round with 50+mph winds. Total fuel used was 1506.34 gallons for an average of 5.50mpg. Ran my normal rounds to Missouri with 3 rounds out to central Nebraska back to Missouri as well. Going to take 5 days off next week, so I will post when I get back out.

    I see that it is up from the 5.33 mpg you had 3 weeks ago. Can you please tell us what your average was in this tyope of driving before you installed the ECO #5 on your truck? Thanks NEVS.

    It varied quite a bit, anywhere from 4.9 to 5.4 depending upon the conditions. What I have noticed is my mileage is not only better, but much more consistent. I haven't seen the dramatic gains that others have, but I'm also loaded to gross or close to it nearly 90% of the time. All in all, I believe it does what is claimed. I also need to add that I utilize a Carrier APU nearly every night. While it doesn't use a huge amount of fuel, it does pull from the same tank as the engine. So a gain is a gain and the mileage reflects it.

    Back to dry van. Hauled a 70K gross wgt load 670 miles in headwinds all last night avg speed 72mph, few hills in MO on i-44, nothing too bad. 536 miles, 101 gallons, 5.3mpg. Not too shabby considering how I was driving/loaded, and the almost constant headwinds.
