Just a quick update on the mileage I am getting on my Fuse 23a. Several weeks ago I filled up the Fuse in Live Oak Florida before I came back to Tallahassee. I normally would have filled up when I got back to town. Due to the hurricane that had just come through, I wanted to make sure I had plenty of gas so I made sure I was good well before I got back to town.
It had been 2 weeks since I took the Fuse out for a ride. I took the advice I give everyone else and did a short 40 mile trip down the Interstate. I keep telling everyone that RVs rot when they sit still and are not exercised. So my co-pilot Lilly the beagle and I went down I-10 to the newly refurbished rest stop near Midway. Florida. Lilly got some good sniffs in at the stop and I verified my bike rack installation was solid had no rattles.
On the way home I filled up at our local Murphy station. $2.17/gallon. 120 miles since the last fill-up and I got 15.25mpg. I traveled at my normal speed of 68mph. I thought that was pretty good since I had idled the engine for about 30min while I watched (and cried at) part of the FSU/Louisville football game on the TV while relaxing at the rest stop.
Well, I have to first admit that I am a Gator fan, but I root for FSU when it does not impact the Gators (Miami, no way!). Anyway, I feel for you ... I could not stop watching, but I think it was because it was like a chain reaction crash ... kept expecting it to stop ... but it wouldn't.
ReplyDeleteBTW, love your blog ... we have a Fuse 23T that we just bought in early August.
