Yes I know 9 MPG is no smart car BUT I have to say I am elated with this. That is 33% greater than what I expected. 33% will be HUGE when we do our 4000 mile trip next year.
Thats really good mileage. I usually pull a little suzuki vitara and get about 6-7 with the same engine and a 35' coach.
I am leaving on a big trip in the next few weeks. I always log my MPG, with the hopes to get a number like yours. Not sure why I do, but I do.
On a funny note, I was filling up at Costco and this very nosy lady, who was filling up a Toyota Prius, asked me how much it costs to fill the motorhome, how is the fuel economy, etc. And she said, I drive a Prius which gets 50 mpg. I just smiled, and told her my motorhome was a hybrid and it got 30 mpg. I was going to come clean with the joke, but she left before I could say much more.
