Fuel $$ Savings

[Roy or Barbara Anderson]

Hi Shane,

It sure makes a great difference when the coach is kept down to
a little over 60 mph. In the past 15K miles my mileage has averaged 6.5
mpg, ranging from 4.6 mpg (Albuquerque NM to Omaha NE by way of Durango CO
and Wolf Creek Pass) running 70+ mph on flats to 7.2 mpg on mostly flat
terrain (Springfield VA to Orlando FL) running 62-65 mph. Also noticed a
difference when I changed my Racor after it got into the red. Glad you had
a great time at rally, I sure wanted to go but my coach is still in shop for
PM fluid changes and looking into installation of Jacob's engine brake.

Hi All,

After attending the rally in Myrtle Beach (a great time by the way.
Kudos to Scott B and Judi!) I decided to give the whole speed reduction
thing a try. I usually run my Bird at around 70MPH (2000 RPM). Pulling
a 2004 Honda Pilot toad, we usually get between 4.9 and 5.2 MPH on the
highway. On my return trip last night, I decided to try keeping speed
between 60 and 65 and never flooring the accelerator pedal- just
moderately accelerating from stops, etc...

I topped off the tank at the Flying J in Latta, SC and again in
Hershey when I returned- the difference was incredible. On our return
trip, we logged an average of 6.6 MPG. What an increase!! :smile:
That translated to a savings of 24.7 gallons over 510 miles. At 2.39
per gallon- that's $59.32 in savings.
