24 feet motorhome - 55 gl. fuel tank

I've never let the tank get that low in the MH. Considering it averages 8 mpg, leaving only a few gallons in the tank doesn't leave many options at all. I usually fill up when the needle gets to about a 1/4 tank.

I like the be prepared and fill up at half a tank idea, but with a 8 mpg vehicle, that means I'm stopping every 2.5 hours to fill up. Anything less than 4 hours between fill-ups is too soon to stop for me. On the East Coast, there's practically a gas station at every interstate highway, so we're never really far from a fill up.

Holy moley! We just took delivery on a 28 footer with the V-10 Ford, and I was hoping to get at least into the double digits for fuel mileage. :W

In addition to what Michael said, I'd fear that running it to the point that I really need to stop soon would put me in the position of stopping where I really don't want to. I'd rather make a few more stops at convenient locations. For instance, I'd stop before entering a busy city rather than risk having to fight heavy traffic for fuel.
