Default Cmp mpg

Hi Gary,

First agree with Harry the two piece Fenton Dual headers solve a number of problems on the stovebolt engines.

Now as to gas mileage, this is always a hard thing to nail down but here goes, my HUP traveling in convoy with other MVs seems to average 10 MPG (that's US gallons) while my C60S with radio box total GVW 10,000 gets 6-7 MPG (again US Gallons) If I'm not driving in convoy the C60S pushing down the interstate alone it at 60 MPH MPG is more in the 5 MPG range.

Interestingly enough up engine-ing from the 216 to the 261 didn't really change the convoy MPG on the big truck. Just means I can run away from M37 s going up hill.

Cheers Phil
