    In Australia back in the late seventys early eightys there was a series of tests run out here and the number one thing to change to improve MPG was the way the drivers drove number two was speed that trucks drove at not all these air deflectors or flashy things hanging off motors and I dont think much has changed If you want better MPG slow down sit back enjoy the view take your time it only adds ten minutes to the day but the day is so much nicer Paul

    I wonder at what speed it becomes cost effective if you only averaged 50 MPH gotta slow for towns hills ect would it be still worth while if you did 60 MPH is it worthwhile on most runs in Australia even though everyone goes like a cut cat you still need to be able to unload at the other end and driving quicker results in sitting for longer at the other end so perhaps if they just slowed down fuel econ would be better anyway Paul

    Mate Im no expert on anything much in life but one thing I know for sure once a truck reaches a certain age it wont mater what you do it wont increase in value but they are still worth keeping on the road The sting in the tail for your truck is that it has taken so long and that is three weeks the truck hasnt been earning money if you paid good money and got it back straight away things would be different The real sting in the tail will be if you get your truck back and theres still a problem hope that dosnt happen so the answer to your question no I doubt the truck is worth anymore seeya Paul

    Life has taught me I forget about something going going over budget if the job is good a lot quicker than if the job is crap and within budget even if things go a real longway over budget As my grandfather always said "it's only money and you cant take it with you. Because the worms will eat holes in it " Paul
