Blueblood Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Groomer have you noticed a increase in fuel usage with the less horsepower? I have found with tractor trailers that less power does not mean more fuel efficient. Have a good run I'm sure there will be some drift busting with the little bull lol.
