    I seem to get better MPG when I bump the govenor? I know it's crazy. I do not mind driving 55 -57 at all but my mpg is better at 60 -62. Normally have 40 in the box.

    I have not real c/o. Need to get a grip on planning with e-logs. Most times appt times are very tight. I keep my doors closed and only stop at t/s for fuel or shower. Stocked at wally world last night on my 34 reset. I only did a reset because the 90 would not take the load early.
