    Hi all, is anybody familiar with or uses any kind of aftermarket devices to improve fuel mileage of Class 8 trucks? Reviews if any?

    Yes I've been experimenting with sailboat fuel, I hauled a load of it home last week and hope to use some of it this weekend!

    I am tying to come up with a device/service that can enhance fuel efficiency and wanted to see if there is anything used currently in the market but it looks like sailboat's fuel and pee is quite popular.

    What I (and many others here) would do cannot be spoken of for fear of the banhammer.

    Tail gate a 52mph prime lease driver .... "hypermile" in his slip stream. Can't wait until gasoline is back up to 5 bucks a gallon and every douche in a prius disappears in the dead air space behind my trailer for a couple hundred miles ....
