For IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement) reporting, a good miles-per-gallon (MPG) for commercial trucks is typically 6 to 8 MPG. This range depends on factors such as truck weight, driving habits, road conditions, and engine efficiency. Achieving higher MPG helps reduce fuel costs and makes reporting simpler and more efficient.
IFTA requires accurate fuel use and mileage tracking to calculate taxes owed across multiple jurisdictions. Trucks with better MPG not only reduce operational expenses but also minimize the environmental impact of fleet operations. Maintaining a good MPG ensures that your IFTA reports reflect optimal fuel efficiency, which can also lead to better long-term savings.
Several factors influence MPG, including driving speed, load weight, tire pressure, and maintenance schedules. Regular servicing, proper tire inflation, and reducing idling time can all help improve a truck’s MPG. Using real-time data to track and adjust driving behavior can also lead to noticeable fuel efficiency improvements.
