We have the 3126, 330 hp Cat and about 26,000 miles on the coach. So its just past break in and I expect the mileage to improve a little. We get about 8.6MPG on average with the range being 7 to 10. The last couple of years I have slowed down and now cruise at about 60-62. I can break 10mpg if I keep it to 55 towing.

Cummins 400ISL total weight including my Jeep 36,000 lbs...and a Allison 3000 tranny...full fuel, empty grey, black and fresh water.
About 7.4 to 8.4.
in the mountains....less than 5mpg.
the closer I drive to 55 the closer I am to 8.4

Went to Harrisburg, Oregon and back towing a Jeep Sahara with our 38' Safari Cheetah. On the flat land I was getting 8 to 8.5 mpg, but in the mountains it dropped to 7 to 7.5.
