- jdc1Explorer III've got over 1,000mpg....but, that was with my plug-in Prius only going 10 miles round trip.
- pianotunaNomad IIILandYacht35diesel,
Congratulations.
In my E-450 (gas) I get about 12.5 mpg if I drive at 48 mph. If I drive 50 mph that drops to 10 mpg. - MommaluExplorerI drive it like I stole it with our 40' 5.9 Cummins, hit 75 and 78mph and got 9.3 mpg pushing a small house down the road. My 5.4 Ford pick up gets 13 mpg driving it the same way, tho it lacks a bathroom, kitchen, queen bed, water heater, 90 gallons of water, a furnace, couple of tv's and a fully stocked refrigerator and bar.
It's all about perspective and what you're willing to put up with and or settle with. We're all different, and it's ok! Get out and enjoy yourself! - RLS7201Explorer II2013 Honda CRV. KC, MO to Hutchison, KS., 65-75 MPH, 35.6 MPG. Return trip, 30.4 MPG. Ah yes the wind does blow in Kansas.
Richard - ferndaleflyerExplorer IIII get 9.25 to 9.50 with my 8.3 Cummins towing a Featherlite trailer with a car on it driving 65--70 MPH. That was averaged over a 1500mi round trip mostly on I-95
- hedgehopperExplorerWith our Dodge dually diesel carrying our Northern Lite 10-2 CD, we get about 15 mpg driving 55-60 mph.
- Nv_GuyExplorer III'20 F350 6.7, 35' fifth wheel. 13 MPG in Indiana, 9.6 MPG bucking a big headwind in Texas. Averaged 11.5 over 7500 or so miles at 65-68 MPH.
- Sandia_ManExplorer IIActually, I wouldn't know, whether car, truck, or when RVing, just never felt the need to track mpg. All our vehicles including motorhome have mpg tracking feature along with the couple of scangauge 2 modules mounted in our HD truck and class A. While I monitor other pertinent powertrain parameters, unless I see a significant change in fuel demand it is rare indeed for me to consider mpg, just pull up to the pump and open my wallet. Driving habits are typical, when RVing I stay within 5mph of posted speed limit, with daily driving I roll at 5 mph above speed limit.
- way2rollNavigator IIHad a person approach me at a gas station while I was fueling up our previous MH and asked me what kind of mileage I got. I said, "It gets great mileage for an apartment."
I have never tracked fuel mileage because it's a moot point. I consider it part of the cost of Rvv'ing. I fill up when I need fuel. - LandYacht35diesExplorerInteresting observations by some ! ..... who simply seem to not care about fuel mileage. Did you care about the price of your motor home? In your travels ... you wouldn’t “shop” for fuel ? I could go on ...... but the bottom line is - it’s your money - do with it as you please !
