It is a great thing to see a trucking company taking such an incentive in order to boost fuel efficiency!

I was asking my daddy what kind of FE he gets when hauling a full load of sweet potatoes or tobacco. He said around 6. Assuming 6 mpg is typical of these trucks, this company is saving over 60% in fuel cost!

At 10,000 miles/month, the savings of 6 to 10 mpg @ $3.50 fuel cost is $2,333.33/month! It would not take long for a Versa to be paid off.
