Just finished entering my winter trip into my mileage spreadsheet and thought some might be interested in a few numbers. FWIW
The data covers June 2017 to date.
Figures assume a generator consumption of .55 gallons per hour. I arrived at this number using data from a period where the generator was used 65 hours and miles driven only 65 miles.
Target cruise speed is 63 MPH. This seems to be a sweet spot to minimize shifting out of OD on moderate hills. We alter this speed up or down depending on wind and other conditions. Cruise control is used most of the time.
Most all of the miles is pulling the CR-V toad.
The coach is fat. I'd hate to run across a scale.![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Total miles driven: 21104 miles
Total Generator Hours: 176 hours
Total Gas Purchased: 3541 gallons
Gas Attributed to Generator: 97 gallons
Total Cost: $8341
Average MPG: 6.13
