You are correct, Jon. It reads 26.4-6 not 24.4-6. I have edited my post above. Thank you.

I weigh in at about 45,000, 60 series 470 HP Allison 6 sp, I don’t see anything shabby about being able to go up either side of the Grapevine at 40. My last trip to Riverside and back to Portland I got about 7.5 mpg which I thought was pretty decent considering the amount of hills in Southern Or, Northern Ca and of course the GV.
Some of the problems Bill described would difinitely be fustrating, hope he finds the problem sooner than later. Ten years tho, good grief I give him credit for hanging in there.
P.S. is there a spell check here somewhere that I am missing? I don’t see one.

Dale,
My first coach had an 8V92 and the Allison 755. Over 17 years of ownership my lifetime average fuel consumption was 5.6 MPG.
I have the logbook. It wasn’t a big deal because we paid as little as $.63 and it was a long time before we paid more than a dollar a gallon. Today I might look for better mileage, but I don’t think the 2 stroke engines will deliver better mileage.
Don’t let you truck driver friend drive your bus. He is dangerous.
