Gas mileage

[robebur]

Just drove from FL to the Adirondacks. 2022 Challenger 2022 35 MQ. First long trip, towing a Jeep Cherokee. Only 1,400 miles on the odometer to start the trip. Started at an average MPG of 6.9, up to 7.5 by trips end. Took 95 to 64 to 81 going up. 81 to 66, rt 17 to 95 on the way back. Engine did great, even on the steep incline on 64, kept rpms under 4000 on the hills and ran about 2300-2500 rpms most of the time, never topped 75 mph, rarely ran over 70. Damn superslide is the issue, out of time and one end lags modestly, but it works.

Not bad mileage with that load. If you do a Google search there is a way to sync the slide, but I don't remember what it is. I know you never stop the slide part way, all the way in and hold the button for about 5 sec and all the way out and hold the button every time

Got 17 mpg on our last trip. Mostly highway driving at 58 to 62 mph.

Thread is titled gas mileage not diesel mileage.

So... I guess the only qualified vehicles would be... GAS powered vehicles? Does propane qualify? Just following the literal title...

I know... I was once told that "Nobody likes a smart a$$... Just keeping some sarcastic levity in the conversation.

Try threads titled fuel mileage or mpg. Specific title is Gas Mileage it is not a literal title.

Hilarious! I've run into that before also. There is no really difference about any RV...all built with the same components and in the same design of use. It's just a misconception that there's something more elite to a trailer than a motorhome. People go to this forum and click on "New Posts". ALL posts start here. There's a question about an A/c issue or a water heater issue...folks help...who cares what it's in? Most don't even dissect that. There all the same. Good help is hard to find.

I was going to respond with a simple "Wow!"... but since the point was completely missed... So, we move on.

This be true.
I've had simple direct solutions that I keep to myself about drv.
