Said eff it and took Thursday off. Place we are staying called me today and moved us to an even nicer RV site. Asked if they had Thursday available, they did. Heading out Thursday morning now. Can’t wait for 5 days of peace and quiet, and rodeo.

I drove a quarter way across the state and back today. 140 miles each way. Had to stop for fuel twice. The F-550 has a 40 ga tank.



I zeroed out the mileage meter for the way back. I averaged 5.3 on the return trip. Interstate. Mostly at or below the speed limit. Heavy and a V10 gasser = $$$

Looking forward to the new 6.7 when it finally comes in.

At least you said “was”. That can get expensive quick. Speaking from experience.

Wow!!!

. . . & I thought I had it bad w/only 12-14 mpg in my 7.3L F250.

Looks like I should be thankful instead.

It is. That's bad. But there are levels to these things.

Oh, making things worse... I can't run 87 when I'm heavy. I need at least 90 so I have to mix in some 93 that costs even more $.

2 weeks ago we pulled a 4500 lb trailer with the RAM 150 1500 Longhorn and Hemi eTorque engine, from Colo Springs to Grand Lake CO over Berthoud Pass and back; and we averaged about 10 mpg for the whole trip. Normally the combined city/hwy mileage is about 19 mpg without towing (maybe 16-17 city and 23-26 mpg hwy). We started out with 89 octane, but filled up after that with 91 (33 gallon tank). (at high altitude our octane is about 2 points lower on each pumps sea-level)

Last year we pulled a 4000 lb trailer with RAM 1500 and averaged 11 mpg on a 600 mile round trip to Ridgeway Reservoir and back. Our Subaru Ascent pulling a similar 4000 lb trailer over 600 miles on the same trip in 2021 averaged 14 mpg. It's always getting 91 octane though since it's a turbo 4-banger.
