40 Comments This engine kicks butt. I have built many combinations of engines for Transporters and this one works the best. No hill slows me down fully loaded. 18 to 22 mpg. Easily cruises at 75 mph. The downside is the bus DOES NOT like to cruise at 55. For Caravans I have to drive a different bus.
