Improved fuel efficiency equals cost savings!


Here's a quote from a Knightline Issue 29 back in June, 2008 when diesel fuel made its first run at $4.00. Now diesel fuel is above $4.00 per gallon and rising.

"An improvement from 6.3 mpg to 6.5 mpg ($4.00 per gallon) in a division of 200 trucks is worth over $468,000 per year."

This .2 mpg improvement translates to about a 3% improvement. What kind of fuel cost savings can you realize if you were to improve fuel consumption 3%?

aFePower Introduces Heavy Duty Performance Air Filters

RV and OTR truck filters

















advanced FLOW engineering (aFePower) is pleased to introduce our line of ProHDuty heavy-duty performance air filters for RV Motorhomes and Over-The-Road (OTR) trucks. These performance air filters are design to be direct replacement air filters for common Baldwin, Donaldson, Fram, Wix, Luber-Finer, Fleetguard or Ecolite filters used in these vehicles. Constructed of washable/reusable media and polyurethane, these filters can be cleaned many times before they need to be replaced. Special design features that will be discussed in later posts allows for better airflow and dust holding capacity that stock paper filters. Better airflow translates into improved engine performance and greater fuel economy. As fuel approaches $5.00 per gallon. a better breathing engine that performs more efficiently results in cost savings. Stay tuned for updates.
