Newer Ford V10 Gas Mileage
So, the Ford V10's with the Torqueshift 5-speed, what kind of mpg are you getting? Yes, I know alot depends on coach size and weight, but on average, how much?

To get out of that valley I have to cross a minimum 4000 ft pass (the other two passes are a little higher). MH never goes below 50 mph and my foot is NOT to the floor either. 6 & 7% grades are common in my driving too. I still get 7.5 mpg.
See that the newer V10s don't don't do any better than my old HR with a Dodge 440 did. The big issue with it was not enough gears and the brakes in the mountains. Lost the brakes once. This is why I am considering a diesel Pusher.
