tipsto boost fuel economy
Saving money on fuel will never be less important than it is today. Diesel prices have been rising virtually every week since early July, making $4 diesel the new normal, and perhaps dirt cheap by standards a year from now.
Gaining even 1 mile per gallon means a huge savings. With diesel at $4 per gal- lon, an owner-operator averaging 6 mpg and driving 120,000 miles a year will save $16,000 a year over one who averages 5 mpg.
See if you can apply any of these tips to your operation. Each one will add dol- lars to your bottom line.
