16.5


That's right gas mileage improved from 15.1 to 16.5 mpg. Went to Phoenix, more hot and humid than El Paso. Visited with Carolyn and Bill. We went antique shopping in Glendale on Friday.
Stayed in a Mobile home park, kinda weird staying between 2 mobile homes in a large lot.
Carolyn and Bill went to a furniture and accessory show. They bought a few things to continue their business.
Was 90 even at night. House A/C did keep up with heat due to hazy weather.
Left Thursday, came home Sat. 455 miles is a long way to go at 55-60 mph. 8 1/2 hours, only 7 in a car at 75. 350-400 miles should be our max. even with both of us driving.
Just a few easy things to do this time. But both cruise controls not working right. My throttle lock would not hold the throttle open, and the Dodge installed cruise would not hold speed either. Worked on both on return. No leaks, or problems except my air dams lost all the springs so they were not effective on return home.
One other note: sitting up high I can see down at the road directly in front of RV, it like hypnotises me, makes me feel very tired and irritated.
Pic is Carolyn, we were celebrating here 69th birthday, a few days early.
