I have quite an interesting problem that I cannot explain...
Our Ag teacher set up this scenario for me:
one 5000# truck gets about 18 miles per gallon
same 5000# truck pulling a 4000# trailer gets 8 miles per gallon
same 5000# truck pulling a 4000# trailer + 10000# of cows ALSO gets 8
miles per gallon.
Any ideas why the empty and the full trailer both get the same
mileage? This same pattern is also present in a different trailer and
truck combination.
thanks,
Kathy
