Re: MPG, Fuel Economy, - the definitive resource

I have the older outside storage configuration with swing up hinged doors. Those newer ones may not
be more convenient, but the slide out style drawer looks better than mine. Not sure what else...

Re: MPG, Fuel Economy, - the definitive resource

By "wider inside" do you mean more open floor plan?
I though they were taller but narrower overall.
The ones I saw at the London RV show had all the Roadtrek models including the new one on the ...

Re: MPG, Fuel Economy, - the definitive resource

Yes, about 84%.
Because like you, we are descended from Brits, and have to deal with a thing called an Imperial gallon,
which is 4.5 litres, and still exists. If we were all measuring fluid volume...

Re: MPG, Fuel Economy, - the definitive resource

Possibly bigger gallon, too?
1 Us gal = 3.8 L versus
1 Imperial (Canadian) gallon is around 4.5 L. = More gas per gallon. :lol:
I can get around 20 mpCg on a flat road, on cruise, at around 100...

Re: MPG, Fuel Economy, - the definitive resource

I think I found it. I did a search for "tire size MPG".

Were the larger tires that much more expensive...

Re: MPG, Fuel Economy, - the definitive resource

Somewhere on here I had a discussion about tire size, going larger diameter, to reduce rotations
per mile, and to try increase mileage, but I'm darned if I can remember where it is.
Feel free to...

Re: MPG, Fuel Economy, - the definitive resource

MPG = Must Press Gently (the accelerator pedal).
Agree about keeping things around 55MPH, although longer routes at lower speeds may not
necessarily improve overall travel efficiency, but your...

Re: MPG, Fuel Economy, - the definitive resource

If we had a cheap CG or trailer park, or even a piece of property in AZ or TX or somewhere down
there that had some basic infrastructure (even nearby), we'd be tempted to leave a larger motorhome ...

Re: MPG, Fuel Economy, - the definitive resource

Hey JR, I wasn't pointing the finger at anyone for causality, that part is arguably very complex and has
developed over decades. Unless your reference to o.p.d. meant CEOs at Exxon, Shell, Mobile,...

Re: MPG, Fuel Economy, - the definitive resource

3.8 lpf on your toilets = 1 US gallon.
So, divide your price per gallon by 3.8 (I use 4) and that's what you're paying per litre.
You are still doing OK compared to us at $3.49/gallon, btw. :wink:...

Re: MPG, Fuel Economy, - the definitive resource

It does seem like we're headed that way, double dip maybe, but I'm hoping the effects won't be
as bad as October 2008, with everyone (mutual funds managers/brokerage houses, etc.) being
more wary...

Re: MPG, Fuel Economy, - the definitive resource

Suppose this is as good as it gets? Maybe the Middle East will continue to be a speculators boon,
and the price of a gallon will hit $5? I always hope, in the back of my mind, things will improve,...
