Another thing adding to the fuel cost of running a rig is the reduced fuel milage obtained with the new emission requirements. I do not believe low sulpher fuel by it's self has reduced fuel economy but the emission controls, mandated by the government, on the newer diesels have reduced fuel economy by 20 to 25%.
