Our Fire Dept. has a 1991 Aerial truck that has a 2 cycle Detroit. It just screams going down the road, with an Allison automatic it gets about 2 mpg!
Top speed is about 60, but it likes 55 better. With a 102' ladder/bucket over the cab it beats hell out of anyone inside!
I'm one of a few that drives it.
