In a semi truck are lower gear ratios going to give better highway mileage per gallon?
No, the lower the gear ratio, the higher the rpm of the crankshaft verses the rmp of the drive shaft, thus more torque. In order to obtain higher torque, the higher the engine rpm and thus the more gas needs to be burned. The reason why Nixon instated 55 mph as the national speed limit is because the highest gear ratio of car (except those with overdrive) was still too low and because of air resistance. Today, cars and semis have wider gear ratio ranges and are more aerodynamic.
How do you do a vin search on a travel trailer?
A VIN search is performed in most states by a certified VIN Inspector, and/or a county official or peace officer, such as a Deputy Sheriff.
Performing a VIN inspection is a fairly straight forward process where the VIN on the title or pink slip is compared to the VIN etched into the frame of the vehicle. Depending on the vehicle it is not usual to check the VIN in at least two locations on the vehicle.
The VIN on a trailer is usually located on the tongue portion of the trailer or the front portion of the frame. In some cases a VIN plaque is affixed to the side or interior of the trailer. A typical VIN inspection of a trailer will only involve checking for the VIN on the tongue.

How much can the average American garbage truck hold?
Depends on the actual capacity of the body, manufacturer of the body, condition of the hydraulic pump, compressibility of the load (bulky items such as couches and wood do not compress). Average body sizes range from about15 to 32 cubic yards. The truck I drive is a 2005 Mack LE600 with a McNeilus 32 cubic yard packing body and I average weights ranging from 14.5 tons (multiple bulky items) to 18 tons (little or no bulky items). The most weight I have put on this truck in one shot is 21.74 tons.

What is octane number of a fuel?
Many car engines run on gasoline. If the octane is low, the engine will knock. If it is high, the engine will not knock, which means that sometimes it will make a knocking sound as you drive along. It also might keep running when you turn off the key to the car. With high octane, the engine also starts easier. It is more expensive to make high octane fuel. Lower octane fuel gets better milage. There are two organic chemicals: isooctane and heptane. Isooctane is a good fuel for cars. It is rated at 100 octane. Heptane is a bad fuel for cars. It is rated at zero octane. When gasoline is made, they need to make a certain octane. They put the gasoline in a car engine. They then run the car with a mixture of isooctane and heptane. They find the mixture that matches the batch of gasoline. That is the octane rating of the new batch of gasoline.
