Fuel economy

[Leroy Eckert]

Folks with hydronic heat have trouble figuring mileage. My VMSpc realtime data
shows mileage as follows without the genset and hydronic heat running.
Boost 6, mph 60, mpg 6, on the flat
Boost 6, mph 65, mpg 5.8, on the flat
Boost 20, mph 65, mpg 2.3, pulling a hill
60-65 yields the best mpg. I pull a 20 foot trailer with car and have not found
that mpg is significantly decreased.

Reading the recent posts on bio fuel, made me wonder what kind of fuel
mileage the various unit get. Do the FC's with the Cat do better than
the 6V or 8V Detroits? Do pushers do better than the FC's? What about
Toads..how much does it affect MPG. I would imagine that with Bluebirds
being so heavy, the higher power engines might actually be more
efficent. With the ever rising fuel costs, you have to wonder how it
will affect the future of RVing in general. Thanks in advance.
