    Sweets are yummy! I really only indulge when ..... my hormones get the better of me. But no one wants to deal with a hormonal woman who is craving chocolate.

    Nah...just found him on "mygauges" and saw he was tracking his fuel mileage... wanted to see if he was on here.

    Also, he added airtabs a few months into driving and I wanted to know if his seeing a difference - according to the gauges there really is no help in mileage, but I've heard stability is a big plus with those.


    BTW, how you doing BK? Putting on some big, hard miles, huh?

    I drive 4148. Airtabs really have not increased fuel mileage at all. My fuel mileage has actually been going down lately mostly because I have been going out to the Carolinas more where before all I was really doing was running the Midwest. Also had a lot of heavy loads.

    LOL well than, I guess you really know who that is...

    Did your truck come with them or did you put them on? I'm guessing its not really a good investment then? Do they help out in the rain/snow at all, like all the people on their site say they can see better...?


    Yea, my fuel mileage went down down down... first load was pretty light last week, then every load after I was at 75-79k with heavy rain and winds, but also I've increased my speed since I needed to for couple loads.

    I can't say they would be a waste of money because there is benefits with them. They do increase you visibility in rain. They also make the truck more stable when another truck passes you. They might increase fuel mileage but with the heavy loads and more hills lately I can't see for sure yet. I know my numbers don't show it.
