    I have found both the DDEC data and the Silverleaf to be very accurate.

    Default ProDriver Fuel Measurement

    This seems like a good place to ask this question - which I have tried to find, but can't. Does anyone know how ProDriver measures fuel consumed? I am curious if it is actually measured directly with flow meters like in a diesel boat - one meter for flow from tank and another for return flow, with the difference being fuel consumed. Or, could ProDrive be inferring fuel used by length of fuel injector pulses or something similar.

    Thanks,
    Russ

    I believe it has to be the injection timing, pressure etc. enabling the flow to be calculated using the same computer that controls the injection cycle.

    Tom,

    Had to put my foot in it to pass you after POG 10 in Austin.

    Mileage from Nashville to Austin was 9.85 with an average speed of 61.9 MPH with cruise set at 65-67 MPH.

    Mileage from Austin to Nashville was 9.35 with an average speed of 63.4 MPH with cruise set at 70-72 MPH.

    Taking into account the overall MPG reduction, I lost around 1 MPG on the Austin to Nashville Leg.

    Got an unexpected new message on the Pro Driver, WARNING EXCEEDING 77 MPH

    John,

    You had the hammer down when you went by me and that's great mileage your getting. We pulled into Loves near Dallas behind Doug Cox and bought fuel for 3.39!

    That's cool, Roger!

    By reducing the "hassle" of dealing with the truck pumps, Flying J has converted me into a return, regular customer.

    For a while, I avoided them as it was too much work involved to simply fuel the bus. I didn't necessarily mind parting with that much cash.... just didn't think they should make it difficult for me to do so!
