My eco

Please, do us all a favor and read the above. Fuel mileage is about averages. What did you average for the month of January in 2010? Has there been any changes in your truck other than tires? Are you pulling the same type of trailer/weight that you were last year? Are you running the same lanes?

 

all of this is why standardised SAE testing is so important, and I am still waiting to see.........

 

This is your statement, not mine. And I don't have a clue?

 

I truly believe that 2hellandback is trying to get the best apples to apples comparison he can get done to prove to himself this product works. I applaud him for doing this and having an open mind to be honest with the forum members.
Most all of the test facilities, shop foremen and Technicians we talk with say that the only way to know is to take:
Same truck, same load weights, same fuel, same driver and do simple math calculations.
Calculate for 3 tanks of fuel without ECO-Systems and get your average of the 3 tanks, then install the unit and run three tanks again.
Of course severe weather, winds and speed will have an effect either way.
The members that have tested already look at their wallets from before and after, and when you have an additional $300 to $600 dollars monthly
doing the exact same work you were doing before, they are extremely happy. Bottom line is you can be grouchy and argue what is right or wrong or you can have extra cash with a smile. Guys, this is not rocket science, it is simle math.
Haulhand which is a member of this forum started out testing one unit and now has purchased a total of 19 units. His savings is averaging right at 7%. Now if Savings of 7% on one truck makes you smile, imagine 19 trucks.

 

Same road, same weather conditions, 5.98mpg going, 7.40 coming back. Only difference, weight. 41K of spuds in a reefer going, 18K of ice cream containers in a dry van coming back.

If I only haul light loads, how much money do I save, Ben?

 

would it work to install both and ecotaz and a turbo3000d on the same engine?

 

Well with everything else being the same your savings of light loads compared to heavy loads is:
7.40 light loads minus 5.98 heavy loads equals a diifference of 1.42 mpg increase.
1.42 divided by 5.98 equals .237 increase or 24% fuel savings hauling light loads.

 

I do not represent Turbo nor do I recommend to use both.
When you install the ECO you do not need the Turbo. This has already been Tested by several of the Forum Members.

 

Two gimmicks won't give you any better fuel mileage than one.
