Correct. Especially 2018 IC CEs, those things may be reliable (at least for us in Okaloosa County. Some areas have had some tough luck with these.) but they shift too early and as such, dont have much power unless you lock it's gears like [DRIVER NAME WITHDRAWN] did last year.

We had the propane visions… 80 miles on 125 gallons or about .5-.6 mpg. We had one flat in town route that they got 1.2 mpg. We bought diesel trip buses because the district couldnt afford fuel without the subsidy so it prevented us from buying propane at gas stations.

Definitely sounds better than the V10 models, but unfortunately I just got a 2020 BBV ISB6.7 last school year, so can't upgrade for a while.
