Is everyone using the same method for calculating fuel economy?<br><br>Step 1: Fill up your tank.&nbsp; (I don't keep pumping to round off the total, once it "clicks off" i squeeze it one more time until it "clicks off" again.)<br><br>Step 2: Reset your trip odometer or record your odometer...

Seraphim, what engine and transmission/drive train do you have?

Perhaps a moderator may see fit to start a new forum category to discuss fuel economy.......?

I am new here, and I am trying to figure out the best setup to use based on fuel economy.&nbsp; I am open to using any thing full-sized (no cars or mini-vans) hi-top van, a box truck, a step van, a motorhome, a truck with travel trailer, gasoline or diesel.&nbsp; I am very flexible, but as I do...

Which truck are you saying is too small?&nbsp; The Savana Box Truck?&nbsp; I have put together a pretty good floor plan that I think will work.&nbsp; I don't know the bus MPGs but I have done extensive research on the 6.2 Diesel and I am optimistic of the fuel economy although I am not...

After much deliberation, I am not "taking the plunge" and going full-time but I do hope to spend 5-6 months per year on the road.&nbsp;&nbsp; That is all dependent on finances.&nbsp; I am keeping the house for now.&nbsp; But I am very impulsive and that could change at any moment.&nbsp; I am...

So I finally got around to setting up my photos so I can upload them here.&nbsp; The photos I have posted so far were just samples from the web.&nbsp; Below are the photos of my actual vehicles I am considering for hitting the road full-time.&nbsp; First is my 1993 Southwind 30' Class A...

Thanks for the welcome.&nbsp; I will definitely post specific questions here as I think of them.&nbsp; I definitely think chat would be faster for me.
