there is also the issue of gearing. 18 wheelers have as many as 20 gears, so
you can very easily get a good high speed low rpm highway gear. the mog has
the combination of a gas engine and VERY low gearing. think about it. a gas
powered vehicle that only goes 45MPH. that's high rpm, low speed. 4MPG doesn't
sound to unreasonable then.
there are diesel Unimogs? where. i want one.
