Re: Cummin's MPG paper
Yep, a lot in common. Low Rolling Resistance tires, tire inflation, streamlining (keep that hybrid clean), fuel and lubricaton choices, lubrication levels, systems management (A/C instead of air in our case), long range anticipation of stops, grades and speed changes, constant RPM operation in cruise, use of small grades.
Gosh, I now know how to talk to a trucker -- can't wait for the next "choke and puke" stop in the Interstate.
It is the ignorant among us that will eventually destroy us all.
