EEEeeeeeee, not sure.

Somehow, I'm doubting it.

Best person to ask would be Dave (parts/service). I'm pretty sure that STAR Scan is a DC only toy.

Unloaded, day to day driving, expect 16 - 19.

Highway, keep it under 2K RPM and you "can" push 21.5.

Most I`ve gotten has been 620 or 630 on 30 gals of fuel.
