Study conducted by Cummins Engine Co under actual operating conditions; extensive instrumentation installed on typical tractor-trailer so that accurate data could be obtained; at maximum engine speed, fuel economy is low; in 35 to 50 mph range, each increase of one mph in cruise speed decreases economy by roughly 1/10 mi per gal.
