Before installing the Kronos fairings, Steve's fuel costs for a 2170 mile run was $1536. With the Kronos fairings fuel costs were $1311 for the same run. A savings of $225

"You know what else," Nelson added, I'm carrying 40,000 pounds and the truck feels lighter. Plus it handles better in the wind."

11 Cents Less Per Mile

Steve tracked cost comparisons on two other runs, first from Memphis, TN to Fort Worth, TX, and secondly from North Bergen, NJ to Memphis, TN. The mileage respectively is 485 miles and 1093 miles. On each load, the cost savings were again significant.. In fact when the combined mileage and fuel savings are added together, in one month, Steve saved $417.16 or 16% of overall fuel costs for these three runs.
