Re: Cummin 12 valve Square Body Suburban MPG?

My P-pump 24v 5.9 Cummins in my 72 Longhorn gets 16.5 in town. The truck weighs 7200lbs with me in it and it has huge injectors and 2 turbos. Driving normal with some skinny pedal action, it gets 16.5. Highway it gets 18-20. Most swaps I've done a 12v will get 18 plus. I did a yellow square body 4x4 burb that was on 35s, had 3.54s and it got 18 or better on the highway. It got 12mpg pulling a 10k dump trailer loaded with rock at interstate speed.
