Yep, I sure did. I'm sure the technology will eventually trickle down to consumer vehicles. They just gotta start where the product will be most accepted. Fuel economy is more important to the trucking industry than the average driver. I once read an article that said that the owner of X trucking fleet would trade in his entire fleet if he could get trucks that got 4% better fuel economy, and this was years ago. I'd doubt that that has changed. It sure would be nice to have that info handy while driving though! Are there any GPS systems that give elevation data?
