Fuel Savings
Breakeven Point for Orion 5000-EL Engine and Fuel Lubricant
The breakeven point in fuel efficiency using Orion 5000-EL is typically 2%–3%. After that you are saving money. Orion 5000-EL will typically save its users 6% to 9%.
Reduced Annual Fuel Costs for Fleets
Orion 5000-EL typically improves fuel economy 6% to 9%. Just a 6% fuel improvement can save a fleet of 50 trucks $72,500 net annually at $2.50 per gallon, or $87,000 net annually at $3.00 per gallon. The higher the fuel price the greater the savings. The larger the fleet the greater the savings.
Owner Operators Can Save Big, Too
That 6% fuel improvement from continuously using Orion 5000-EL engine and fuel lubricant can save an owner operator $2,880 annually at $3.00 per gallon. That’s assuming you drive 100,000 miles per year and buy 16,000 gallons of diesel annually. At $3.50 per gallon, you’ll save $3,360. If diesel fuel prices stay near $4.00 per gallon, you’d save $3,840.
You’ll Save Money with Reduced Maintenance, Too.
The continuous use of Orion 5000-EL in the fuel system and crankcase lowers maintenance costs by extending engine oil change cycles and the life of the diesel particulate filters (DPF), fuel injectors, fuel pumps, and minimizes residue buildup on exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves.
