Warning Warning Warning, no mater how much you want to save fuel don’t draft a big rig. I drove an 18 wheeler for over 20 years and the one accident I witnessed still haunts me today. Car was drafting a semi doing 70 miles per hour. the car was about 40′ or 50′ off the ICC bar (bumper) of the truck. the truck blew a trailer tire. the tire tread went through the right side windshield of the auto decapitating the drivers wife in the front seat and his 6 year old daughter in the right side back seat. I was about a half a mile behind the accident when it occurred. I was the first person on the scene and when I reached the car the driver was sitting in shock with his wife’s head in his lap!Don’t tailgate a truck, don’t draft a truck period!!!!
Fill your tank at the coolest time of day. Fuel is denser when it’s cool in the early morning or late night.. Your engine consumes fuel by weight but gas pumps dispense fuel by volume. The colder the fuel is when you pump it, the more of it you get for the same money.
