At 10 miles to the gallon, every 1000 miles takes 100 gallons (I
actually get 9-9.5 mpg).
I drive about 10,000 miles a year maximum in the motorhome.
That means at today's cost my fuel cost's me $3600.00 a year.
If fuel went up 2 bucks a gallon it would cost me $5600 a year.
I can find another 170.00 a month, or I can drive less. Every 1000 miles
less I drive would save me 360.00
My monthly payment, storage fees and insurance come to 900 a month. My
depreciation is probably double that. My upgrades and maintenance are
probably = 200.00 a month or more.
Even with a 2 dollar increase in fuel, its the cheapest expense I have.
In FL we have plenty of local campgrounds to visit to save money and
still enjoy the RV.
