5. Drivers Make A Difference . Caterpillar research found, the one most significant fuel economy variable is the driver. It is the driver who controls the vehicle speed, trailer gap setting, acceleration rate, brake usage, idle time, tire inflation pressure, shifting technique and more. It is not uncommon for fleets with identically spec ed trucks to see as much as a 25% (5.0 vs. 6.7 mpg) in fuel consumption variance between the worst and best drivers. The manufacturer of Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks (Paccar) agrees. The driver remains the most important factor for fuel economy. Paccar cites studies that demonstrate how an experienced driver, utilizing the proper techniques, can be up to 35% more fuel efficient than an untrained driver. While training programs can assist drivers with progressive shifting, braking and acceleration, basic fuel consumption awareness is usually the first significant step to realizing cost savings.
