Me and the Mrs travelled to Florida from canada, 1800 Miles. I drove the RV, Ford F250 with a 15000Lbs 5th wheel trailer in tow. My mrs had the Toyota Matrix 1.8L engine 5 Speed.
I averaged 13.4 MPG on the trip. But the best was my Mrs with the Matrix. She averaged 45MPG on the 1st 2 tanks following me. I then told her to back off a bit from me until she felt the need to lift the accelerator a bit and stay there for most of the rest of the trip. The next 2 tanks of Gas were at 49MPG. I drove at 100KPH or 63MPH most of the way and all the traffic just passed us and left her behind me. We did the trip back for Christmas and we did average 40MPG, that was the car alone the RV is still in Florida. We travelled faster on the way back because any day I can do 45MPG with the Matrix at 100KPH. The MPG are in Imperial which is 6/5 of a US Gallon.
