Can't wait see what mileage you report.

Sound awesome trip.


Forgot to ask have you notice any diesel fuel in different state made your motorhome run better or rough? Mileage improve or drop?

Just heard that from my Friend who claim diesel in Kentucky have better fuel than Michigan fuel. He claim 2-4 mpg improve.

I doubt the diesel fuel MPG increase, because my truck is a farm vehicle....I have run every diesel availible and in a couple different states, MPG's stayed about the same all the way across the board.
