The trucking industry consumes 12% of the national energy. Mileage in an 18 wheeler ranges from the low 5's to the mid 7's in miles-per-gallon. The trucks/individuals getting mid 7's can get into the 8 MPG range with diverse modifications costing about $7,500 - $10,000 per tractor-trailer. The 'pay-off' can easily be achieved within a year or much less if team driving.

The race is on. Alternative fuels are coming of age. Biodiesel is refined from 'home-grown' veggetable oils and waste cooking oil. We need to tell Chavez WHAT HE CAN DO WITH HIS OIL (he claims he will sell it all to China).

With Wallmart going to shorter (height-wise) trailers someone needs to 're-design' the tractor air spoilers which are now 2-2.5 feet too tall causing unecessary air drag.
