These are tabs that you stick on your cab extender farings - right along the edge. You can only put on so many. They have to be spaced according to their template.

I run 58-60 mph, pulling dry van. Usually average in the 20k-25k range. Mostly "middle canada" and midwestern USA.

Still, I know guys with classic trucks that can't even get 6 mpg running from Winnipeg to Minneapolis. Maybe a touch faster(62 mph), same weight.

Yeah those tankers must go through the wind pretty easy compared to our big boxes.

Yeah but 45k in a tanker feels like 100k in a box,they are defintely hard to get going and hard to stop.

That's true, especially those unbaffled ones.

Wouldn't want to ever drive one when it's slick out. Must be fun!

Allan,

What impact do you think just tractor aerodynamics have when pulling a tank? Also, don't remember where I got this link from, but here's some interesting reading about fuel mileage from Cummins>
