I agree that this should not have happened. I should have paid closer attention to it, but it was at the end of a long trip and we had filled up fairly recently and had been expecting to be able to make it home without an issue based on our average mpg and time spent between fill ups. I normally get 200 miles to the tank. I don't think this tank lasted more than 100-120 miles. It was a bit windier towards the end of the trip, but I've never seen it drop that fast. Lesson learned. The last thing I wanted to do was add 2.5 hours to my trip by running out of gas 2 miles from my final exit and gas station.

Time for a diesel. I can go 400-450 miles on a tankful with my 21 foot travel trailer doing 57 to 58 mph, most of the time. About 16.5 to 19.5 mpg. A head wind will drop that to 12 or 13 mpg for the tank. fill up at 1/4 full, or sooner, or plan to drive slower with a headwind if fuel expenses are too great with headwind.

BTW, I refuse to run Shell, or Valero, or any super market/Kroger/Food 4less, or any other off brand diesel fuel in my rig. Because my fuel logs prove that most of the time, it costs me 10% in MPG running those off brands. Phillips 66, Conoco, Unocal, and Sinclair when I can get them, are my first choice, hands down. The fuel logs don't lie.
