Petrol
The most important aspect to consider in the running costs is petrol, conversion to Propane Gas is not viable in the USA as there is no facility for this work and it is very expensive. The AC generator is petrol driven.
Our First Trip
The previous owner advised me that he got 8 to 9 mpg from the RV. So far on two separate journeys I averaged 13.55 mpg with 76 hours of generator use over 4,800 miles .Average cost per gallon $2.34. On the second journey, which is the current one over some very mountainous terrain totaling 2,217 miles, I am averaging 12.23 mpg with 20 hours of generator use. Average cost of petrol per gallon is $2.33.
September - December 2006
We travelled a total of 9673 miles at an average of 11.22 mpg plus 53.9 generator hours of petrol usage. The average price of petrol was $2.51 the maximum being $3.40 an minimum of $2.07 per gallon.
