I recently took a 1300 mile vacation in my Westy (sounds funny..) and calculated the cost of gas into my total expense. Even at $4 per gallon total fuel cost was not outrageous at $300. As a contrast I spent only $145 on campgrounds. Had gas been $1.75 a gallon I would have made it a 2500 mile vacation. I'd say for every Westy owner dumping their camper due to high fuel costs there will be a willing buyer who just dumped their gas-sucking RV. Chris. |
