Ok I am in this truck and the thing is lucky to get 4.5 mpg. We pull some heavy loads all the time.

Is there anything I can do to get better economy without spending a bunch of money or the companies money?

We can get a fuel bonus if we average over 5 but these C15s can't do this for the most part.


Also upping the power would be great because this thing is a complete dog when compaired to the 01 volvo VED 12 465 that I was running for 6 months. That and I could average 5.2 to 5.5 pulling the same loads.
