Ependydad, I think that you mileage difference over the next 5,000 miles is going to be down .005 MPG. This is just a SWAG, not backed up with any substantial basis:D
Exactly , I travel with full tanks each and every trip.
The weight has no measurable effect on my MPG's.
I prefer a full tank because a 1/2 tank allows the water to slosh around in the tank putting more stress on the tank and the support brackets. I also believe their is less risk of mold growth in a totally full tank vs. a empty or partially full tank.Honestly my theories have no credible basis but I'm sticking to them. I have has no issues with my fresh water system thus far.
