Get one of the new F-150 EcoBoost trucks. With your aeromods, you'd probably be looking at 40+ MPG!

Depending on how many trucks he's feeding, recommend he make a competition out of who can get the best MPG per month and give them a $20 gift card, he'll come out ahead. If they all save him money give them all a $20 gift card, the winner 2 or 3 of them.

If the truck are all different might have to go to % better mpg than last month.

Be careful of the guy putting a gallon of his own fuel ($4.00) in the truck before filling just so he can get the $20 dollar gift card.

I thought about that, but I think it would take more like 5 gallons to ensure a win, so he (the driver) might break even, but the owner would still come out ahead.

I worked as a field engineer for a construction company for about 10 years and for about 6 of those 10 years my '88 Escort was my work truck. If I needed to go from one side of the site to another I'd just throw the survey instruments and blueprints in the car and take off through the 2" dust or 6" mud (it's a manly car/truck). We also had a few company trucks that the supervisors or superintendent used for travel to and from work and for any employees use on the site if they needed it to move supplies. All other employees drove their own vehicles to the site and parked them in the employee parking area.
