25 years ago I bought 28' motorhome, that PO converted to diesel.

It was that having lockable hand cable for gas pedal, I was almost ready to leave it and go to rear bathroom as single grade took over 1/2 hr to climb
So it wasn't much of the jet, but motorhome was delivering honest 10 mpg, when gas engines of the era had trouble touching 5 in such configuration.
