55 and stay alive get 10 Plus miles per gallon

[Jon]

Just getting back to good economical driving pratice. Some people here
questioned the fact that they never have gotten more that 5 or 6 miles
per gallon on the open road. But I bet if you took a look at their foot
while driving, you would probably see an indintation on their gas
pedal. Or that their driving a 300 Hp rig that weighs is at 20 tons. My
old Rebel bless her thin additude weighs in at around 13 Tons and has a
nice 225 hp engine. May not be the winner in a race across the country
but comes out the winner at the gas pump. Jon

[Dan Weaver]

55 MPH on hiways and biways? I stayed alive at more than that on every
motorcycle, car, and motorhome I ever owned. Shoot, with a few mods,
I can get 60 MPH out of a pedal start moped. You are retired, right
Jon? You have time to go low and slow for 2 MPG -- good on ya!!!
Those Navy ships were mighty slow and set the speed standard for you
did they???? Shoot, just drive her at 35 MPH with the flashers on
and get 12 MPG. It'll remind you of max speed on your ships.

I have never done 55 in any vehicle capable of more, unless in a
school zone. I could have had you and Dave home in 12 hours min
less... when you pulled out of NM for WA.

Remember, I am the previous owner of the "10 MPG" coach you keep
bragging on ..that my best was 8 MPG in.

Wait 'till I retire and make a $$ bet.. then and I'll drive that same
coach at 45 MPH and get 11 MPG in the old coach.... (no I won't, I'd
get 50 miles down the road and crank her way up anyways - $$ bet be
darned).

My wife does keep telling to slow down though. Maybe when I reach
your advanced age I'll be able to do 55???

Yep when your retired you can go as slow as you want or go as fast as you want
Dave. But to me the adventure of motor homeing is not getting from point A to B
as fast as I can but to enjoy the countryside. I know you've got a little lead
foot and I remember your little hot car and their nothing wrong with that. But
also I know that your a great mechanic and you did one hell of a nice job on
fixing up your previous Bird. So I'm the trutle and you are the hair and who
cares who get first, last or even their. Jon

PS those old ships by the way were just a tab bit faster than what you mentioned
about.
