At five bucks a gallon, in todays economy, 80% of the GMCs will be basically parked I would say. The remaining ones will seldom be driven. At $200 to fill that sucker up, most will become mobile storage cans. I would imagine that the miles driven in out coaches is already half of what it was last year. When gas hits 5 bucks, mine is going into non op status and insurance gets cancelled.

Here's the way I look at this issue, related to the way I use the coach. It is usually used for extended weekend getaways, usually about a 200 mile round trip. So if I use 20 gallons @ $5.00, that's $100 lodging for my usual 3-night weekend (no RV park - dry camp). Cheaper than Motel-6. And actually, it should be the difference between the fuel cost in my car and the fuel cost in the GMC, which is about $50. So, even at $5.00 per gallon, I'm only paying $50 lodging for the trip.
