Concerning fuel mileage, my 450 Lxi has an electronic fuel mileage display showing 6.1 MPG. How accurate that is I don't know. My father's 05 American Eagle displayed 6.5 MPG. I guesstimate the Eagle to weigh 6K to 8K pounds less than the 450. The Eagle had a red box Cummins rated at 500 HP where as the Lxi has a 525 HP C13 Cat.
Well my display shows 6.2 over a 12yr span and since I'm the third owner, I have no idea of what the previous owner's driving habits were, but I've only been able to raise it 0.1, during my 3yrs of ownership.
I weigh in at 32K and am powered by a C9 400HP CAT.
I still don't know where the sensor is and if the genset is being taken into account here.
