got any tips on how to save on gas? how much do you spend?
how much mileage do you get? what size rv do you drive? what grade of gas do you use? regular, premium, diesel? do you add anything to your gasoline? thanks

"Well Sir,
Without sounding too negative here. If you're going to drive ANY type of RV, then gas mileage is not in the picture. Some "supposedly" get in the 10s, some in the 9s, but, by far, the average hovers between 6-8. They're big, they're heavy, they're usually pulling something that's not light, they're built like a Kleenex Box on wheels so there's absolutely "0" aerodynamics. "

Unless you're full-timing and planning on putting on 10s of thousands of miles a year, it's just not an issue given all of the other expenses in going on trips. Yes, you look for cheaper stations, to a degree, but I'm not going to drive an extra 15mis to get fuel that's $.05 cheaper...just not worth it to me. I'd burn 4 gallons of gas to save $25?
Forget about mileage, and enjoy the lifestyle and the many advantages it has to offer :)
Safe Travels,
