Emission delete 6.7 vs 8.3 vs 5.9 Cummins

Hey guys, sorry if it's been posted before, how does an emissions deleted 6.7 stack up against the 8.3 and 5.9, which do you think is best of the 3 (power/reliability/mileage/ease of maintenance) and why? And if you have fuel mileage of a 6.7 deleted please post it up! I'm seeing 12-18 mpg is that accurate?

The other posts I have found do not go much into details or which engines are better for whichever reasons, so hopefully someone can chime in! I am looking at some newer Saf-f-T liners as I love the look, and an wondering if the emissions delete will allow for a better engine and mileage or is it still better to go with older models.

How do you plan to accomplish the “emissions delete” on the newer bus?

No idea with a short bus, but with a full size pusher you'll never see 12-18 mpg, whatever the engine.
