    have my truck set at 70 and get 6.8 there isn't that much difference than running 63 ... what they don't figure is 11 hours at 70 is 770 miles a shift at 60 is 660 so I know that don't happen so say that is 100 miles per shift so say you get 7 .5 at .60 mph so that's 240 a day in fuel at 70 your burning 300 a day in fuel so 60 .00 you save in physics lesson now except that you're getting 100 miles more per day at my average 2.50 a mile that's $190 miles more net money per day .... as per usual good math beats good physics

    but I turned my truck to 70 getting up to 75 takes a lot more fuel and harder on motor to run that high rpm
