Just crank over that Duramax and throw in all the golf bags you want.

(Am re-reading CapriRacer's "Revived" tire thread in the Tech section over at WOODALLS -- an RV forum -- and thought, snowman, I know that name.)

Welcome again. Big overlap between all aspects of family fuel use, whether by dollars "invested" and by fuel measure "consumed". Can't dissociate one from the other as they've become the same.

Food for thought:

Might also consider that a high mpg TV and highly aero all-aluminum TT can be a better choice (in some respects) for overall economy: longevity (true permanence) as well as lowest fuel burn due to greatly reduced HP demand.

And eliminating a run around errands car is the biggest savings of all when the TV solo mpg is high.

With the right TT one doesn't need a pickup truck as a part-timer, making potential solo mpg even higher.

Etc.
