We have a Crescendo 8356, bought new in the summer of '06, 330 Cummins on a Workhorse. Not counting the delivery miles... we have traveled 49,351 miles with fuel consumption of 6285 gallons., so at first glance, it's 7.85 mpg.

HOWEVER, we must factor in the generator. 1500 hours at, let's guess, a 75% load and .75 gals per hour. That's 1100 gallons to run the generator.

SO, actual consumption by the Cummins is 6285 less 1100, net 5185 gallons, or 9.5 +/- mpg.
