The trip grand total miles was 3000...the Ford Excursion with the V10 gets 10-11 mpg with and without the TD.
The next TD will be light enough to get pulled by the mini-van.

Thank you for your quick response...
Given: Gas costs of $3.29-$3.47 per gal
So roughly you can figure out how much money your trip will cost ahead of
time by taking the mileage and dividing by 3 or approximately 1/3rd the
miles planned for the co$t of a trip. Or about 3000 / 11 = 273 X 3.45 =
$941.85 So close to 1/3rd of the total miles will be your gas cost or about
$315.00 per 1000 miles for your truck.
For another example between gas costs of $3.29-$3.47 per gal:
My Honda CR-V with my TD pulls @ about 22 Miles Per Gal.
So for a trip of 3000 miles my co$t would be 1/7th or divide by 7.
So for me it figures out to be (approximately) $150.00 per 1000 miles or $450.00 for
3000 miles.
The moral of the story is with a TV that gets better gas mileage and a TD
built light that the TV can pull with ease, a perfect storm for better economy can be your experience.
