I have a Ford V-10 and a Ford transmission. Do you have the Allison transmission? Could be the reason you get such good mileage. Very rare for me to get anything close to 9mpg

Banks on the V-10

Had the full Banks installed on my rig several thousands of miles ago. No trouble mechanically. Increased gas mileage - No! But greatly increased torque over the hills.
