+30 years tracking fuel efficiency, I have always seen around a 1 mpg drop during the cold winter months. This year I’ve seen no drop in fuel efficiency this winter, why? Improved low viscosity lubricants, improved fuel treatment chemistry, improved aerodynamics specific tractor trailer gap, improved rubber compounding used in modern low rolling resistance tires, and improved weight biasing non torque reactive drive axle suspensions that significantly reduce slip in cold slippery conditions.

Most folks are aware that I’m all about time management and running only as fast as necessary to get the job done…Today I had the opportunity to do a little high speed testing in Wyoming over a 161 mile stretch of highway through some pretty decent hills. Cruise set speed +4 over the speed limit …also keep in mind there were several construction zones that slowed things down to 45 mph…..pretty pleased with 9.6 mpg with less than optimal aerodynamics on the trailer for the higher speeds…..rest of the todays leg I’ll be running my typical 57-62.

All of you that have followed my work over the years are aware that I’m big fan of AirDog fuel system optimization …Y’all most likely have listened to me explain the benefits of the AirDog system on Trucking Technology and Efficiency …..It appears Tony Justice is experiencing some pretty impressive results as well after an install on his traditionally geared legacy iron, check out his thoughts here.
