New gas gauge

Post by Niner Delta » Sun Mar 18, 2012 1:53 am

I got a new gas (not diesel) gauge for my motorhome. :mrgreen:
And at $3.69 a gallon, it is accurate. :(

Vern, the most expensive diesel i have seen over here was in Scotland last week at £1.53.9 per LITRE, work that out per gallon!!!
Supermarket price at home at the moment is around £1.40.7.

How many miles per year do you guys put on your vehicles? (at 7 mpg for a 35 foot Recreation Vehicle.)

Between 4500 and 5000 miles per year.
And I get around 6.5mpg average, (it's a Ford V-10), when towing another vehicle.
Have a Scan Gauge II that gives me instant mileage in the motorhome, about 2.5 mpg going up the mountain and 9999 going down the other side. :mrgreen:
Gas prices around my house are $3.61 to $3.65.
Just said $3.69 because that's the price that matches the ones on the gauge, for my 75 gallon tank.
If I had a 38' diesel instead of gas, I would get better mileage, but diesel costs more, $3.99 to $4.05 here.
Beside, diesel motorhomes cost more than gas ones, and I couldn't afford one. (still can't) :mrgreen:
