1978 Eleganza II 26 footer Motorhome
With 403 Engine
307 Final Drive
225-75R-16E Tires
Aluminum Performer Intake
Filled Ctossover
Thorley Headers /
3 Inch Exaust System

~~> " 15.6 MPG " <~~



This Jaw Dropping Fuel Mileage Was Calculated, Verified
And Recorded On Interstate I-77 Southbound While Driving
From Virginia To North Carolina @ 55 MPH -

We Filled Both Tanks At Fancy Gap Virginia
{ I-77 S - Exit 8 }
And Re-Fueled At Mount Airy North Carolina
{ I-77 S - Exit 101 }
15.6 mpg Was The Best Fuel Mileage That I Ever Recorded ~

~ Joe ~

BTW,
did I mention that 87 % of this drive
was coming down fancy gap mountain ?
