How Truckers Could Save 2.4 Billion Gallons of Fuel Per Year
Old technology could get a new lease on life as fuel prices skyrocket.
In the late 1990s, researchers at Georgia Tech Research Institute began drawing from 1980s aerospace technology to develop several diesel-saving aerodynamic tricks for 18-wheelers. Their results were announced in 2005. Back then, however, diesel was cheap so the tricks never became part of the trade.
