FUEL SAVING TIPS FROM THE BEST TRUCKER ALIVE
Maintain 60–65 mph on the highway
Every 1 mph over 65 costs you roughly 0.1 mpg. Math is math.
Pre-trip route planning for fuel stops
Know where the cheap diesel is before you leave the yard.
Idle reduction is real money
An idling truck burns 0.8 gallons per hour. That's $3+ while you sleep.
Tire pressure matters more than you think
Under-inflated tires increase fuel consumption by up to 3%.
