RE: Gas Mileage
1. Travel expense is important to some. 2. Determining if there might be a mechanical issue, reflected in gas mileage, could be important to some. 3. Learning what are reasonable expectations for gas mileage to new RV owners could be important to some. 4. Making your travel dollars go further could be important to some. 5. The quote above and other similar comments that have populated most threads about gas mileage sure sound elitist and get old real fast. The comments add nothing to the content or knowledge gained from the thread.

BY THE WAY:
The improvement of 1 mpg [8+ vs 7 mpg] with my new 2020 Thor compared to my old 2000 Winnegago made enough difference in gas cost on a recent 2500 mile Gulf Coast trip with my teen grandkids that it covered the dinner cost of a meal for six at Memphis BBQ [$120] or at any of four other other nice eateries visited in FL, AL, MS, LA. The difference alternately could have covered the cost of an Alligator Swamp Tour outside of NOLA for all of us, or other attractions. This difference would have been even greater if it weren't for depressed gas prices during the Covid-19 re-opening. This difference described above could be important to some!
