Hi noe-place,

You can manually enter the fuel tank size and the miles per gallon.


Yes but then they ask for vehicle information and their site doesn't have motorhomes on their vehicle list. Some larger pickups are missing too. I just thought I'd let them know at Gas Buddy to see if they could add the "variables."


I manually entered my fuel tank size, city & highway mpg, selected Diesel, clicked the 'Fuel my Trip' button. No need to enter vehicle information at all. It gave me some good information for my next trip.

There is a blue link that says 'Select a Vehicle', but you don't have to click it.

Hi,

I deliberately put in a "smaller tank" to find the cheapest stations enroute.

The trip planner has always been there, but I do not think you will see them add RVs. They get their information from EPA same as window stickers on cars, and to my knowledge there is no such info for motor homes. Too many variables. But the option to put in your own mpg, highway and city, and to choose your tank size will give you a decent route, fuel stops, and estimated usage.

I contacted them and asked why they don't have motorhomes in their vehicle categories also. They said they'd "take it under advisement" so I guess we'll wait and see.

Hi 4huskers,

You can manually put in the tank size and your mileage.

I opened the link and it doesn't appear to have Ford F250 or F350 models.
