CQuestad is among others. You just have to keep the revs up to keep it spooling. CQ hasn't posted any mileage figures but having a ton of torque and power on tap has its efficiency costs. ks

Yeah I run one. Daily drive with the Aurora for about a year now.
No problems getting around. Mileage is 16.5 average economy (according to overhead).

Great daily driver! I have run one for 80-90k. My truck gets ok mileage...but I would consider it great for the way I drive...the speed a drive...lift tires...etc.

I am sure a 62 would do better...mileage wise...but it would not be as fun!

Driving flat at 70 mph, no wind, no load, I can get 18 mpg.

I average anywhere from 13-16 mpg...driving 10-15 over the limit.

They tow fine...keep the rpms at or above 2k.

I just rolled 101k and i havent had any troubles. Like they said keep the rpms up and you will be fine. Get occasional surge at low rpm/speed but nothin to cry about.
