I'm sure if they found out what my current driving style is (with EOC's and P&G), I'd probably be reprimanded for voilating safety rules.

Alas, although they are the benefactor of my using less fuel, as labor jobs within large companies goes - no good deed goes un-punished.

My route is 27 stops (minimum) and 26 miles long but my odometer/speedometer reads 15% slower than it should so my LLV registers it as 22 miles, meaning that my 15.07 mpg pull is actually 17.7 mpg.

LLV's are 4 cyl Chevy S10's with a heavy un-aero friendly steel/aluminum body. These things will do maybe 75mph with a heavy tailwind lol. Some of these LLV's are CNG powered, but most like mine are good 'ol regular unleaded gas powered.
