Bud,

I'm not really sure of concrete mileage numbers as my ODO has not worked at
all since I got it back ont he road.  My next project will be to get a
replacement for that.  It seems to be really getting great mileage,
definitely better than a gas, but since this is my first diesel Bus, I don't
really have a great reference point.  I can certainly say that I am getting
better than the gas though.  How much i don't know yet, but I will post my
findings in a week or so when I get the new Odometer installed.  I am also
going from Wilmington to Asheville for X-mas and know the exact distance, so
I will be able to get some numbers from that as well.

Happy holidays to all...
