Hi: JeffZ... So what kind of mileage does a V12 super duper engine really get Alf

Re: Itasca 24V Impulse – would you buy a used RV from this guy?

Well my super duper engine really likes the "duper" more than the "super" when it comes to gas mileage..

Here's the log so far:

352mi - 8.0mpg
253mi - 8.65mpg
342mi - 11.75mpg
154mi - 5.92mpg
134mi -10.41mpg

Tomorrow we're heading over to Tofino, which I understand is "not flat" so we'll see. I've been experimenting with the tow/haul feature and we'll see if that helps on the mountain climbs.. That one leg where I got 5.92 was climbing..of course 11.75 was downhill as well..
