    Since the window awnings are off the flex strip which holds awning to coach are bad so replaced all flex strips and new canvas on all window awnings check your flex strips the stitching can go bad

    Good point George, as a non rich guy, I sure don’t worry over 3 – 4 tenths of a gallon, but the cost of oil at Jeff’s keeps me up at night.

    Well, I must disagree. The data is NOT invalid, though you are free to refuse to accept it. There is nothing I can do to change your personal criteria, but mine do not include 10,000 miles in travel to see a trend. Perhaps that is my physician’s training…..waiting to make a decision can make someone dead.

    I drive consistently. Same route as last month. Same coach. Same OTR. Same toad. Same speed. Same leaking CAC. Obviously I am not measuring winds. And while the message center may be off, it’s most likely off the same this month as last, and the same as last year, and the same as always.

    Again, I have never seen over 6 with a toad (notice that I can tell there was a difference in driving standards here) prior to installation of the chip and a 0.3 mpg difference above that IS significant. I am looking forward to continued accumulation of more data including driving with no toad, but the preliminary as I reported in the original post is pretty darned good.

    If I were to be argumentative I would point out that in those 25 years you have not likely filled at the same station let alone the same pump every time, nor have you checked the accuracy of the pumps at which you have filled, so it is likely that they are all inaccurate to some degree. At least my message center readout is consistent.

    The numbers are what the numbers are, Jon. 5.6-6.3.

    I am pretty consistent. If you were to ask if my drive home was 10k miles the answer is obviously no, but I did just make that drive last month with the results shown above. The only time I have ever gotten better than 6 was without a toad, and have never gotten 6.3 before.
