Any body know about International w/ MaxxForce engines
It's suppose to get .5 mpg to 1 mpg more than the standard engine. I just read about the International with the MaxxForce engine in RoadKing magazine, May/June 2008. It is suppose to be in the TransStars, and WorkStars, at some piont will be in the ProStar. Has anyone else read the artical? Does anyone know of or have experiance with this engine? The artical says they get .5 to 1 mpg more, among other good sounding things.

Anyone know what outfits run this engine?

Thanks

If thats right, wow, thats alot better than the 5-6 mpg we hear about. What, that would be $4.50 to $9.00 a mile savings.

What is Kinghunter?
