fuel mileage test results
Truck News, a Canadian trucking rag reported results this month from an independent fuel mileage test on a track in Quebec.
1) Super singles on the drives and the trailer = 9.7% 2) Those areo wings that bolt to the underside of vans came in at ~7% 3) Boat tails were ~5% 4) There was an in-line fuel thingy the improved mileage by ~4% 5) Full fenders 1% |
I think I'm going to start experimenting with a few things in the new year.

Is the in-line fuel thingy. the illusive turbo 3000. LOL

So, if your results would be half of what's posted, don't get disappointed! :wink: |
Don't worry solo, my decision has nothing to do with any Canuck studies :lol: Although, I give a lot more credence to much of their info than what comes out down here. With the relatively recent emphasis on fuel mileage, there has been a boom in new studies and technologies resulting in lots of new products. The problem is much of it doesn't go through sufficient testing to verify claims. I'm just going to do my own 8)
Actually, I believe all the numbers in rank's study except for the fuel line thing...I don't know about that one :lol: |

Tho, i still believer, that the most gain, could be achieved from the proper driving technique, I'm always open for the other options... 8) |
