$3.80 a gallon down the street from me. This is getting ridiculous.
Thankfully, I have found a source of used vegetable oil and am going
to process my own bio diesel. That will get my cost down under $1.00 a
gallon from now on.

As for me, my '86 PT-40's (8V92) worst gas mileage so far was 4.13mpg.
That was sailing through Nebraska at 80mph with the generator running
and four A/Cs on full blast. Later in the trip, when I slowed down to
~70mph, I got about 5mpg. I believe if I keep my speed down and am
careful on my next trip I'll be able to coax her closer to 6mpg.
Honestly, for a coach that weighs in at 41,000lbs, that's not half
bad.
