auxilliary air compressor maintenance

[George Lowry]

Jerry,

I'm not Ron & Ruth - but I had the series 60 in our Wanderlodge. The
best I ever saw was 6 mpg and that was after modifications. It usually
ran between 5 & 6 mpg. According to the Detroit guru's I have talked
to, the World transmission just doesn't have enough gears to get best
fuel economy. The best rpm for the series is 1400. To get that, you are
limited to 55 mph. At 65 mph, you are turning 1600 rpm. If we had a
fifteen speed like the truckers do, we could keep the engine at the 1400
rpm and get the best efficiency.
