96" vs 102" Hopper

96" vs 102" Hopper

Does anyone here have experience pulling both widths? Is there any difference in fuel mileage pulling a hopper that is 102" wide? Also, what could one expect to get on a 43' x 96" x 78" trailer? Will you be able to get 25+ tons of DDG's in a trailer that size?
