Also, don't fuel on Fridays. That also hurts your mileage like the monthly thing as well since they figure it out weekly as well
-
We are in trouble then cause some days we have to fuel twice a day!
-
Well I fuel on end of month guess I wnt be doin that
-
I got burned one month, topped of my tanks, parked the truck, and didn't have any miles to back-up that purchase. I got a call from Mike Per Gallon when I came back to work. Remember, they don't know how much you burn, but they do know how much you buy.
Regarding weekly, I don't worry about that since we are held to a monthly average and most weekends I have long drives anyway -
I've never been called by mileage and I fuel before coming home for 4-5 days off, as well as buy on fridays all the time.

i think its my truck one driver told me he gets about 1200 a tank on the t660 at 62mph another tells me he gets 1000 at 62 and me i get 800... lol wth im scared to go below a quarter tank cuz i dont wanna run out of fuel but guess ill start chancing it more.

u said u took it to the shop they still havent fixed it?
-
guess its fixed if i run 61-62 got 950 miles on one tank before fuel light came on

Stop topping it off. You have to burn what you put in to convert the gallons to miles, hence mpg. If you are having to run all your loads as fast as you can, maybe time management is something you need to look at. Shut the engine off whenever you can. It doesn't burn any fuel when its not running.
