I am the owner of a one week old Thor Coleman 19CM with 7.3 engine on it and during the last week I drove it from AR to CA.

Then when we hit the flats again and on a calm evening hours from Blythe to LA we were averaging 10 to 10,5mpg when I set the cruise control at 70mph.
After a while I decided to slow down and set the cruise control to 60mpg and it went up to 11mpg.
Today for the first time on a calm day I was driving back to home on flat roads and decided to cruise at 55mph and it went up to 11.4...
That was my best so far during the 2300 miles in my first week.
To be honest when I first started the engine it scared me. I thought it sounded like a big muscle car! Still think it's a little overkill for a 19' long mini-C class but what do I know?
