What is your fuel milage on your diesel conversions.

My milage on my ford with the Perkins in it is 24.8 I wish I had one more OD to get the RPM down from 2150 to 1650 at 70mph.

WOW...I would be very happy with that. I am only getting 16 mpg on the highway at 65 mph. Around town I only get like 6 mpg or so. I am really considering the Gear Vendors overdrive, but not sure they can handle the HP!
 
They fairly strong all depend on what kind of abuse your going to put it though.One of my sons freind had one in a truck that had 435 hp and pulled it it did alrite.

I checked mine on the last road trip and I got between 15.5 and 16. That was pulling a 13.5k pound trailer though. I had the valet on and was taking it pretty easy at 65-70Mph the whole way.
 
I have to turn my AFC scew out haven't done that since I put the valet on it.
