Thought I would throw in this picture of a trick tow truck I saw last month.

and the subject is what again, Roger-so-dear-to-my-heart??? "LOOK BIG TRUCK" ???

just because it is huge doesn't mean it is a fuel hog!

i think some of you might be suprized how well the international does on mpg, mine has a fuel mileage computer in it it runs between 19 and 10 mpg sometimes as low as 8.

getting a realistic picture of actual milage is hard because it runs the pto for 8 to 10 hours a day.

and thats for a truck that weighs 26400 lbs!

i'd bet that it does better than most motorhomes!

Fully loaded with cargo the commercial version will get between 6-8 MPG, most private users will not have theirs loaded that much. Normal driving you should see around 10 or so on the road. Our van gets that...

i'd say that is a very good guess on the mpg of a 466E connected to an allison 6 speed.
