CAT 450HP engine fuel mileage
I have a friend that claims he gets 10.5 MPG at 75 mph in his 2001 450HP Cat 40Ft beaver PT motorhome and his average is 9.5?? I only get 7.5 in my ISL425 and I only drive 63MPH ? Is this believable...

The Cat 3406 is a great engine. 10 yes, but not at 75. 14.6L geared to run 65 at 1300 rpms in a coach that weighs 34K maybe with a tail wind.
ok never knew his ratio was so much higher than mine.Iam 1650@62
also did not know it was 14.6L engine? that's huge compared to my 8.9
