Great, love to hear how it works out! To me it's not just about economy, range is a strong factor, lotsa times I'm driving around with a jug of diesel hanging off the back just to get me through.

FYI my mileage figures are all highway, summer fuel and I usually have added stanadyne

Yeh I hear you. Its all about range. Ive been using powerservice the grey bottle ive had a few injecrion pumps start sticking internally and the only thing that would free them up was the powerservice. I put on a 5300km round trip in the Great U.S.A and spent 1020 bucks canadian there was lots of highway. But a fair amount of citydrivin too.

Are you coaxing me to offer up information that is properly related to the subject of this thread? Fine.. I concede.

I have a '97 b3800 short bus with a T444e, a 5-speed Spicer and 11r22.5 wheels. Rear end is 4.11, I think.
When I'm cruising the highway at ~100kph I'll be drinking 18 to 20 liters/100km. Somewhere between 11-13mpg.

Also take a look at this well-aged poll:
