13mpg's from a truck that is good to get 5-6 on a good day.

100% fuel mileage increase is a game changer. Nice work

Super cool. They're getting better mileage out of a loaded big rig than I get out of my pickup, empty.

I'd think the Storm Troopers are making a delivery.

Wow, the big rig manufacturers will copy this guy's design if they're smart (smiley face optional )

I work around semis and a lot of the stuff he was doing in 09 is common now. I see alot of that stuff everyday; although not the smiley face.....
