Fuel Mileage on 8.1 Workhorse
I drove DP's for years. Thinking about a 30 ft Workhorse. What kind of gas mileage can I expect
Forum Discussion
I drove a 2005 Damon Intruder 377W (Workhorse 8.1L) for 15 years
Millage. Lowest I ever got was 6 (Major headwind)
Highest 13.8 (I kid you not the tumble weeds were going down the road passing me at nearly 100 MPH Straight down the very straight (I-10) road.. Was ... Fun (not) when I exited for the night)
Normal depended on my towed. 7-8 towing a 2001 Dodge neon using a transmission lube pump (2500 pound towed)
8-9 towing a 1992 Chevy Lumina APV (4000 pounds) with a Axle lock. I do not knwo if this was because the larger APV "Spoiled" the air flow or the added drag of the automatic transmission on the Neon.
Bobtail (no towed car) about the same as with the Lumina (Argument for spoiled air flow)
Fresh Wax Job 10-11MPG
Anyone care to guess why I waxed spring and fall before my semi-annual migration hike?
