my M123a1 gets maybe 2 MPG diesel, just tractor - no trailer and driving 30
MPH - level ground - on a good day - no head wind

I visited with some guys who drove these in Vietnam they said loaded with 80
ton tank fuel mileage did not change

903 engine

and I have a M139 that is about the same - uses gasoline

602 engine

BUT you need something moved hook M123a1 to it, it will move most of the
time

M139 called a 5 ton, US Army normal load was 15,000 pounds, I have talked to
people who drove them in service and said fuel usage was about the same
loaded or empty

Hi Tim
Before the HET's there was the M911 Series which is also still in service in
some units. It is massive and is a 6X6 design with an additional dolly axle
which is retractible. Before the 911 was the M123 series which is a
standard 6X6 design on steroids. Fuel economy is not their forte as you
can guess.

Regards
Glenn
