'95 Airstream Classic Pusher

My '95 diesel averages 11.5-12 MPG over the 4 years and 15,000 miles I've owned it.
I just had a Banks power pac and stinger system installed, so mileage should improve a little, I know the power has improved considerably. Banks claims increases in HP up to 75 and torque up by some 70-80- pounds so mileage should be better too.

I think 9 mpg at 70 mph towing a motorcycle is the number for the beast

2013 Interstate 3500 Lounge EXT

My overall average since new with 7500 miles is 19.2 mpg recorded on the vehicles built in trip computer. Best daily mileage was 21.5 mpg on trip to Key West. I normally drive 60-65 mph and discovered that strong headwinds can cut 2-3 mpg off my mileage.

Mine is the long 24 foot MB Sprinter van and very comfortable travel for two people with no pets.

Waiting for your evaluation after you get some miles on it. Still happy with mine.

'88 345 mileage

With the new overdrive transmission, new Banks headers and exhaust system, and new goodyear tires I am hoping to break 11mpg in flat country. Will re-post later.

'95 Diesel Pusher Classic

My MH averages 11.5 mpg since I bot it in '09.
This spring I installed a Banks system and should see a 10-15% increase in mileage.
Thanks,

We got 11.5 on the first tank of the trip east. That was cruising 70 into 5-15 mph headwinds and cross winds. Since installing the Banks, I tend to cruise 70 to 75 on the interstates vs 60 to 65 before. It just seems to be in its happy place at 70 vs 60 before. A little tailwind and I've seen 13 to 14 mpg last year on I80 last year cruising along at 70. The extra git up n go makes it hard not have some fun.
