I second what Ron Dittmer said. You explained the V-10's performance envelope better than any one else I have read. I watch my Scangauge II's MPG, Throttle position, Transmission temp and RPM. I could not imagine traveling without it. I had no idea the torque curve of the V-10 was that flat. I copied your last post and will make myself a bullet point guide posted on my dash to run my V-10. Keeping it in the highest gear you can for climbing makes sense. I am always going into my personally assigned headwind in my 31C 2005 Minnie. My best MPG average has been 8.0 MPG running from the swamps of Southeast Texas to Disney World and back. I use my Scangauge for MPG averaging since filling my motorhome up is a hit and miss proposition.
Thanks Again..
