How do you figure engine hours to miles? - Jon - 03-26-2006 09:41
My engine hour meter reads 3460 hours and I would like to know what
that would compute to miles driven if rig was on the road all its
life? Right now the OD reads 148,000.

Hi Jon,
Your 148,000 miles divided by 3460 hours shows that your coach has averaged 42.7
miles per hour over it's lifetime. That is considered in the normal range.

Jon, this is a very interesting question; no doubt it will vary based on our
individual driving style. We would all benefit from a discussion of our
individual mileage/engine hours. That would give all of us an additional
piece of info to use in comparing vehicles.
For my 1985 PT-36, I have 172,000 miles/ 4160 engine hours resulting in an
average of 41.3+ miles per hour.

Jon,
148,000 miles divided by 3460 hours = 43 miles per hour sounds fairly reasonable
to me. Hopefully the previous owner [s] held the speed around 60 to 65 on the
interstate and 55 to 60 off the interstate. When you factor in the stop and go
city driving 43 still sounds good to me.

How do you figure engine hours to miles? - Andy Coleman - 03-27-2006 18:38
Gentlemen,
A very interesting discussion on engine miles vs. hours.
I'm looking at an 83 FC-35 with 94,000 miles and 2,669 engine miles.
By dividing the two, I come up with 35.2 MPH during its lifetime.
Is that a number that I should be concerned with? Is it too low?
The coach may have sat for periods of time. Maybe this low MPH
indicates it was started periodically but not driven.

How do you figure engine hours to miles? - Tom Warner - 03-28-2006 00:41
There may be another reason for the difference between the mileage
and the engine hours. The odometer part of the speedometer may be
bad, that is may not accurately count. They are known to stick on the
1/10 digit. I would check it on the road for a couple of miles to see
if that is a problem.

How do you figure engine hours to miles? - Howard O. Truitt - 03-28-2006 06:29
Andy,
There is a very likely possibility that older coaches could have a significate
number of hours due to idling.
