Could anyone tell me what they get fuel mileage on average with the Cat C-15 625BHP 12 speed ZF.
i seem to be getting about 5MPG which seems a little harsh! averaging around 65mph.
Thanks

The previous owner of my coach purchased a 2007 with a Cat, he texted me today saying he only got 4.6 mpg from OK to AZ.
Thanks,
I guess it is about right then! at least i know there is nothing wrong, it runs great just thought it was thirsty, but i am going from a American Tradition with a 9 litre to the Newell with a 15 litre,

Throttle position at different speeds and load make a difference.
