Steve, I get 19.? mpg empty driving 65 70 on NV roads, I rarely go over 65 because I don't like to tach that high. Driving 60 with the 32 footer that we leave in Mexico in storage now, I got 11.5 and the same with our 24 foot Arctic Fox. The Fox is about a ton lighter than the Laredo. There are stretches on MX 15 that you will be able to go about 60 mph but on the major portion, its not much more than 50. I seem to get somewhat better mileage on Mexican diesel than ULSD in the states but haven't bothered checking it as the Pemex attendants fill it and it's liters so I don't feel like bothering with the math. BTW, I paid $3.629 per gallon with my Maverik Black card today in Dayton NV. That's cheaper than the price I paid in Sonoyta when we left Mexico last April which was if I remember correctly as I didn't write it down about #3.66.
Funny!! I used to live on Ring Rd in Dayton, NV. Now I am in Dayton, WA...
I am surprised at the difference in our mileage given how similar our rigs are.
It looks like the most expensive tank of fuel I buy for this trip may be in my hometown. We are paying $4.29
