Re: [MBZ] which to buy?

[Van Cleve]

My, new to me, 94 Dodge (Cummins) used 10 gals of fuel when I drove 230 
miles and picked up a broken 240D, Thats 23 MPG with a tow for half that 
230 mile run.  Talk about an improvement over my old 67 Ford gasser :-) :-)

The ISB cummins is known for getting the best fuel economy of the greaseburner
trucks from the big three. The GM 6.5 turbo with the electronic pump is
known for hoarding the other end of the scale.
