    If you go in sleeper for 8 hours. You get what you didn't use the day before. Example, of you drove for 6 hours after 8 hours you will have 5 hours of drive time. The unused of the 11. Also you take a 2 hour break you get 6 more drive hours. But your 14 is still running.

    If you wait two hours more in the sleeper to hith10 hours it will have a fresh 14 with 11 on the drive.

    For saving my 70 I will shut down before a bad city, near the end of my day. Example Atlanta, to save the extra 1.5 hours to get thru it. Or Dallas-Fort Worth is a good example. Get thru the city before 5 am and you won't burn as much time.

    The computer does the 8/2 for me.
