Fuel quantity kills off the economy. To add power you need to add fuel. So if you use that power you will use more fuel. IOW's a 200 HP diesel will use about twice the fuel as a 100 HP diesel. So if you only had 375 HP and use all that power to pull a hill at 40 MPH and then you add a tuner to give you 450 HP and you now go up the same hill at 55 MPH you will use a LOT more fuel. You have to because you just added 75 HP worth of fuel.
If you can get up the hill in 65 seconds using 450 hp instead of 90 seconds using 375 hp. The higher horsepower engine would almost certainly be saving you fuel going up the hill.
ROTFLMAO; and if I tow at 120 MPH instead of 60 MPH I get to where I'm going in half the time and save a bunch of fuel too! That is the logic you are using. LOL :R
Funny how the fleets are turning down the HP of big rigs to save fuel. You need to tell them they are doing it all wrong! They need to turn it up to save fuel. :S
