Ok I get it with the mileage. Seems a little demeaning the conversation here. I just joined and I feel like a kid around adults who always know better. Maybe the put downs can decrease a little? I just like to get good mileage. I also like to race my truck at Raceway park and Watkins Glen so I do use both sides of the proverbial coin ( gas coin that is ). I appreciate the advice. Its the ' my way or the highway ' thing I never understood. Maybe I'm wrong and you all can correct me if I am.
Thank you for your knowledge in this matter.
God Bless.

Zoey, Accept my apoligy if You think I demeaned you. My comments were not pointed at you or anyone in particular and certainly not meant to be demeaning or rude. My comments were meant to point out that all the focus mileage gets on the RV.net forums seems kind of silly to me. I mean on a 1000 mile trip that I am going to get 10 mpg on, use a 100 gallons of gas costing me nearly $400, a $45 difference could just as easily be higher priced fuel along the way during the trip from one area to another. I've seen and generally do see a $.20 swing in prices during any lengthy trip. Neither the price of gas along my route or if I drive 60 mph and get 10 mpg or do 65-70 and get 9 mpg is going to make or break my trip. If it is, my budget is likely too tight for me to take that trip and I need to stay closer to home.
Just my opinion, My circumstances in my post. Not saying it's right, wrong or anyone with differing circumstances is silly, cheap or anything else.
