Gas mileage report
When paying $1.69, it doesn't matter as much, but I have gotten a handle on our 25' Chevy 4500 Class C's mpg habits. 60-65MPH, neutral conditions: 10 MPG tail wind: 11 MPG head or strong cross ...

On 5,000 miles if you can go from 8 to 10 mpg you can save a whopping $400 at 3.50 a gal (more than current prices).
Not worth the hassle to worry about considering all the other costs.
Granted, but 5k miles at 65mph is 77 hours and 5k miles at 55mph is 91 hours, a difference of 14 hours. That's 2 days of driving 7 hours per day, or $200 a day.
Given the choice of spending an extra 2 days on the road, or 2 days on the beach, there's not much much to discuss.
Now that it's under $2 / gallon, it's even more moot.
Actually for me 14 hours is 3 days, but to average 65 you have to do what.....75+ as your going to need to stop more often for gas and the cop....hehe.
That's why I said "driving for 7 hours per day".
If you make stops for fuel, meals, or anything else that would be over and above the 7 hours of driving.
