Hi Lomes,
Did a fair bit of work with a Denning coach, 8V71, 7 speed spicer crashbox and tag axle and it was good for High 30,s l/100 in good going...put it on snow work eg. Mt Hotham expect high 40,s sometimes more.
Did half mil K,s in a Denning decker with 8V92 and it used 50l/100 (2k/ l) everywhere, snow included.

Can't give you fuel figures but if looking at older engines look to see if upgraded to "N" series if I recall. Better performance.
ie 8V71NT

Gee , most of the motor homes/buses I've seen have all been four strokes. (Ahem...)
Seriously though, nope don't know 'em.

OK thanks all for the replies think i will keep looking for a more economical motor something around 20-25 lts per 100
