Seller claims 16 m.p.g. Is this a scam seller?

Hi Norm,
I'd say he's a bit optomistic - maybe not a scammer, just not real savvy. I don't think I've seen anyone here make a claim that high 455 or 403. Perhaps he only uses it downhill and gets it towed back. Laughing

Downhill??  As I noted, I got just at 12 off my 23' all freway and trying for mileage.  I doubt that's going to continue over time, because although the cruise likes 52 per, I don't :):)

If ya'll are talking about this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170656556989&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

I have seen it on the web in various places (google for the TZE: TZE368V101587). It had been at a car auction in san antonio, where it didn't go for a price high enough for the seller.

Never tried Googling the TZE....

While is sure seems "sure" of the 16mpg number on eBay, his other ad says: "Run's down the Road effortlessly @ 12 MPG Gas all day long."
<http://classiccars.com/listing-140810/1978-gmc-motorhome-for-sale-in-san_antonio-texas-78218.html>

A bit more believable. It could be worth close to what he is asking on THIS ad....

It is a used car salesman. What do you expect.

I'd be a little concerned about the roll of hose? on the drivers side in the front and the toolbox in the head... Smile
