Very good MPG information
Now don't anyone have a hissy-fit because the C word is on the document. Everything stated there sounds legit to me; it is aimed at tractor trailers, but the theories should apply to our trucks also. And I just put traction tires on the rear- oh well.

Regardless, this is really good information as it could and would apply to most vehicles. I would think this pertains to gas, diesel, propane, however you power your vehicle, as there is a lot of info on tires.
Obviouly, as you said, it pertains to big rigs.
Good stuff!

Yeah, I remember reading that a year or so on the Cummins website. At that time I was told I would be getting a new truck within a few months and I was hoping for a red engine instead of the yellow one I had...
Very good information, great post!

CUMMINS INSTEAD OF A CAT. I WOULD TAKE A CAT ANY DAY. I USED TO DRIVE A TRI-AXLE DUMPTRUCK WITH A C12 CAT. I COULD RUN RINGS AROUND ALL THE OTHER DUMPTRUCKS OUT THERE AND GET BETTER MILAGE DOING IT. AND THE C15 I HAD IN MY QUAD-AXLE 550HP WAS JUST FLAT AWESOME.
