An independent truck driver hauling oil field pipe took the same 3,014-mile route twice in one month, with identical loads. On the first trip, he used Power Fuel Tabs and achieved 7.01 MPG, consuming 430 gallons of fuel. On the second trip, he had run out of tabs. The result? His fuel efficiency dropped to 5.82 MPG, requiring 518 gallons—88 more gallons than the first trip.

This represents a 1.19 MPG decrease, a significant drop for any long-haul operation. For professional drivers, even a 1 MPG difference can mean thousands in additional fuel costs annually—here, it resulted in a 17% increase in fuel expenses for just one trip.

Additionally, the increase in Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) usage during Trip 2, though relatively small at 0.52 gallons, suggests the engine was working harder and less efficiently without the fuel enhancement.

 This side-by-side comparison highlights the tangible benefits of Power Fuel Tabs in real-world trucking operations. Beyond the immediate cost savings, improving MPG by over a full point not only reduces fuel expenses but also decreases wear and tear on the engine, lowers emissions, and boosts overall profitability—especially when scaled over multiple runs.

In conclusion, incorporating Power Fuel Tabs into long-haul operations provides a measurable return on investment. For truckers and fleet managers alike, this simple additive could mean the difference between a marginal run and a profitable one.
