    No. Drag exponentially increases.

    No one said “one size fits all”. But, saying aerodynamics don’t affect fuel mileage simply isn’t true.

    Some of the older members here might remember double yellow? And if I remember right he was getting 9mpg in his older international 9400. That was probably maybe 8 years ago.

    East of the Mississippi I agree. Too much traffic to really stretch out. But west of the Mississippi is a different story. The difference between a 65 mph truck and an 80 mph truck from Russellville AR to Victorville CA is an effective working day.
     
    RedForeman, Feedman and Oxbow Thank this.
