The new Roadtrek Mercedes Diesel gets 25 MPG advertised! Sweet! Anyone got one? Care to fill us in one details? > The new Roadtrek Mercedes Diesel gets 25 MPG advertised! Sweet! Anyone got > one? Care to fill us in one details? Better recalculate that into dollars per mile so we can compare apples to apples.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >John Andrews, Knoxville, Tennessee I'm not sure that's a good number. The previous MB diesel wasn't doing quite that good and I have read that the pollution re-design lost it some mileage. That was on the Sprinter van, so the RoadTrek may have better aerodynamics. Just divide diesel gallon cost by gas gallon cost to get a ratio. Example diesel@ 3.90, gas@ 3.60, ratio 1.08; so 25mpgd/1.08 is 23.08 mpgg. Pete I see where "Mr Krebbs" <krebbs@energy.com>, the same troll who claims to want something stronger than coffee to keep him awake on a coast-to-coast run in 2 days, comments that: >The new Roadtrek Mercedes Diesel gets 25 MPG advertised! Sweet! Anyone got >one? Care to fill us in one details? If it's downhill w/tailwind all the way, no problem. The key word is "advertised". Locally, diesel fuel is around $1 higher than RUL, BTW.

She claims 15 to 22 depending on which way the wind is blowing. (her words not mine) Nice rig for her needs I'd go nuts with all the grand kids on board. > The new Roadtrek Mercedes Diesel gets 25 MPG advertised! Sweet! Anyone got > one? Care to fill us in one details? 25 mpg? Why, that's a crime. What a waste. So much pollution - so little responsibility for the environment and your own physical well being. People like you should be shot on sight. Check this out. Trek Road Madone. http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/2008/road/madone/madone69pro/ Try over 10,000 miles per gallon.

Everyone has a set of beliefs that they follow for thier life including a worldview. Even if your 'an alleged atheist' , you follow FAITH in NOTHING that gave us the universe. So please be careful when you come up with this pop-bashing mantra, for, you are talking about yourSELF as well . Glad i could be of service . Best regards Pete. >> On Sun, 20 Apr 2008 17:40:58 -0400, "Shad O'Shay" >> [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] >about yourSELF as well . Glad i could be of service . Best regards >Pete. Differences abound in how much some of us try push their religions onto other people and how some won't settle for less than 100% of the way they want it.

Responding to trolls only encourages them, Pete. Plonk them and Purge them - in whichever order you can... |
