if your driving 300,000 miles a year (two drivers) non stop "ALL YEAR" other than fuel, engine oil, tire work and preventative mantince repair.

getting say 6 mpg = 50,000 gallens....ok.... 50,000 X $5.00 a gal = $250,000 dollers

I admit, 300,000 a year is pushing it even for two drivers.

12% less than 250K is $30,000 dollars in savings....

now think about a comp with say 50 or 100 or more of these trucks and apply the 12% to that and the amount saved gets to be a very tidy sum!!!!

there not doing it to save the world, there doing it to make more cash in the long run.
