I lowered the maximum speed on my commercial fleet of 60 Tractor Trailers by 4 MPH and saved 70,000 gallons of diesel fuel in a year... that's $300,000.
If the speed limit could be maxed at 55 I could save 150,000 gallons more or an additional $ 675,000.
It is just not safe to drive tractor trailers at 55 until the law is changed.

This RWVER was faxed in from Shenan & Angela Brittle of Grottoes, VA. On a recent trip from Crimora, VA to Franklin, VA and then home to Grottoes the Brittles drove 360 miles at 55 MPH and used just 16.5 gallons achieving 22 MPG in a vehicle rated by EPA at 13 City / 17 Hwy!
Many thanks for sending in your report!

However, driven sensibly, it can get greatly improved fuel economy! I use the truck to tow a small (20 foot) travel trailer, and at other times a small (21 foot) boat. The rig is well suited to this purpose. At 55 - 57 MPH towing the 3500 pound trailer the engine is only turning over at 1700 RPM. Loafing along.
