Mpg ??? (1 Viewer)

[ips]

Done 400miles on brand new ford 2.2l 140 horses. Been cruising at 60 - 65 ish and averaged 28.8 mpg is this good / bad / average for low profile 5.9m bus.
Can I expect more (by how much) when the engine is run in a bit more ?

Sounds right. Some claim a bit higher but they must be awfully steady drivers.

Normally about 65 set on cruise control seems to work ok

my rollerteam 600g fully laden to 3.85 ton does 25 mpg, but i don't give a damn what it does as the enjoyment i get out of it is beyond description.
just put the gas in when needed, and the space i have for carrying things is astronomical, saves me a fortune when on the continent.
enjoy your motorhomes that's what they are for.
feel like iv'e lost a family member took our bessie in today for warranty work.
( i'll have to talk to the wife while shes away)

HI....I have just done 4500km around France and mine has averaged 28mpg....6.8m van and 3.5ton low profile on a Fiat 130 multi jet (they may not go backwards but they are fine forwards) doing 100km on fast roads 90km on normal country roads and 50km through the villages.
and I think that is good
