Default Mileage

Having just completed a 3400 mile trip with varying conditions and lots of traffic with about half of that at highway speeds, we averaged 13+ miles per gallon. This was with the dash air running all the time , lots of idle time in stop and go traffic, fully loaded but not towing anything. Mileage ranged from 11.8 to 15.2, but overall was 13+.

When I bought it I was told to expect 12 to 14 mpg, but thought they we streaching it. Turns out they were right on the money.

If I tow something, the mileage will probably drop about 1 mpg.

Power is Ford 6.0 diesel.

Coach is: 2008 BT Cruiser 3 Slide model 5291
