I have run OTR as a an owner/operator in both semis and straight trucks, so, for me, I have a keen awareness about spending money on fuel in and out of the truck. It affected me in such a way that I could no longer look at a personal vehicle and not ask what can be done to make it use less fuel.

When your accountant asks "Did you actually spend $40k on fuel last year?", you can't help but to ask the question, "how in the world did we get to this?"

That's a years salary to some people.

And that's for one truck.

It's worth it in the end for me to do whatever it takes to get max FE because it means freedom.
