I don't know what to say. I'm not in the trucking industry. I see comments like yours and I see comments like this:

"No, I worked for commercial vehicle brake testing. 4MPG was average with stop and go. Might be able to get close to the 7MPG if the driver chooses to deploy all of the aero flaps and keep his speed below 65MPH.

But so often, they chose not to fuss with making sure the skirts and foils are in place and don't realize 5MPH slower is only minutes longer over the course of most trips."

It seems like there's a lot of disagreement no just how much fuel diesel semis use. That might have to do with different routes and loads, but at the end of the day, the electric semi seems to beat even the best numbers people give.
