Took this picture three or four weeks ago after filling up in KY traveled North through IL & WI towing a Honda CRV. The mileage settled down to 8.13 for the rest of the trip. Coach weighed 49,500 CRV toad at 2900#.
The way I look at the mileage is pounds per gallon. Take a F350 Power-stroke dually...empty... say 7500# at 17 MPG . That works out to 441# per gallon. Our coach at 52,400# and say 8.13 mpg works out to 6,445# per gallon. Looking at it with that perspective we are operating some pretty efficient vehicles. Now just for fun go figure out what a Prius would be in pounds per gallon:-)
