auxilliary air compressor maintenance
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.
