What the Experts Say
  • Excessive speed is the largest single factor in
    reduced fuel mileage.
  • Reduce speed to a reasonable level of say 60 mph
    and eliminate all non-essential stops. A general
    rule of thumb is that every mph increase above 50
    mph reduces fuel mileage by 0.1 mpg.
  • Virginia Tech Study on Follow Distance
  • Increase Following Distance by 1 second will
    reduce the incidence of rear end collisions by 85

35
What the Experts Say
  • Excessive speed is the largest single factor in
    vehicle crashes
  • Too Fast for Conditions - 13.9 single
  • Too Fast 5.9 muti-vehicle fatality
  • Too Fast Critical Pre Crash Event in 18
    crashes where the truck was the causal factor
  • More than any other factor
  • 30 speed increase 69 gt kinetic en.
  • Source FMCSA (2009 stats)
