On my last trip I averaged 15.9 MPG on the 91 Westy. This was 65 MPH mostly, we went out -very- heavy w/water tank full, much camping gear etc. Also we ran A/C continually on max and towing an approx 700lb gross wieght trailer. When we are long travelling, I keep the rig running, A/C on max cool when we stop for fuel, historical landmarks etc. Under my circumstances I feel my mileage is good. If I were going out light and no trailer I would be expecting 18MPG or better. -- ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> Shalom 87 GL Mark Magee 91 Westy Kemah TX USA 96 Suzuki 4WD Sport John 14:6 |
