Since leaving on our North American round trip from White Rock (Vancouver) B.C. on the 2nd June 2008 we have traveled through and explored 8 Canadian provinces and 27 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, arriving at Apache Junction, just east of Phoenix Arizona on the 18 January 2009.
During this time we have covered 22,500 kms in 'Dutchess' our motor home and an additional 14,000 kms in Granny our car. Dutchess, towing 'Granny', was normally driven on main highways to move from one point to another where she would be setup as a home in a campsite or RV Park. Granny would then be used for all the local trips and exploring the area. This combination has worked very well for us.
During the trip to date Dutchess has used 6075 litres of diesel fuel giving us an average of 26.9 litres per 100 kms or approximately 8.8 miles per US Gallon. On the open highway cruising at 95 kms/hr we can expect about 10.5 miles per US gallon.
Using 'Granny' around town we used 1425 litres of gasoline for an average of approximately 10.1 litres per 100 kms.
Both vehicles have performed very well and we have had only minimal problems.
