Top 10 Fuel Economy Factors (from heavydutytrucking.com)
In a major study, The Technology and Maintenance Council of the American Trucking Assns. identified the major factors that most affect fuel economy. The top 10 are:

Driver skills (acceleration, braking, shifting)
Speed - especially with poor aerodynamics
Cooling fan "on" time
Electronic versus mechanical engines
Using rib tires in every wheel position
Cutting idling time
Using single semi-trailers instead of doubles
Using a roof fairing rather than a flat roof
Using a roof fairing rather than a raised-roof sleeper
Slowing down 5 mph

Acceleration Wastes Fuel-

According to EPA studies, you can reduce your vehicle’s fuel consumption up to 20% by improving your driving skills.

One of the biggest factors in wasting fuel is hard acceleration and harsh braking.

How much acceleration is too much?

The Digital Fuel Mizer provides instant feedback to the driver whenever the vehicle is operated outside of maximum fuel efficiency conditions.

Fuel economy is a bit like dental hygiene --it's not a very popular or glamorous subject, but you know that you should pay closer attention. Good dental care is largely about getting in the habit of doing a few little things each day. The same goes for fuel economy improvement. Minimal effort on your part can yield great results.

Under-inflated tires - When tires aren’t inflated properly, it’s like driving with the parking brake on and can cost a mile or two per gallon.

Dirty air filters - An air filter that is clogged with dirt, dust or bugs chokes off the air, which wastes fuel and causes the engine to lose power. Replacing a clogged air filter can improve mileage by as much as 10 percent.

Don’t be an aggressive driver - Aggressive driving can reduce mileage by as much as 33 percent.

Avoid excessive idling - Sitting idle gets zero miles per gallon. Consider an APU or cabin heater for those long cold nights.

Observe the speed limit - Fuel mileage decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. Each mph driven over 60 will result in an additional waste of 10 cents per gallon.

Straight Ahead--Be sure that your front suspension is properly aligned. Poor alignment increases tire friction, causes premature tire wear, and requires extra fuel to move the vehicle.
